The Alpine Loop Gran Fondo is an annual cycling event that challenges participants with various route options, including the signature 110-mile Alpine Loop. Founded by professional mountain bike cyclist Jeremiah Bishop, the event not only offers cyclists a chance to tackle demanding terrains but also supports prostate cancer awareness and prevention. Proceeds benefit the Cancer Journeys Foundation, which emphasizes early detection and education. The event also features the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project King and Queen of the Mountains and Sprint competitions, further promoting the cause. Riders are encouraged to get regular PSA tests, as early detection can be life-saving. The Gran Fondo exemplifies the spirit of cycling camaraderie while championing a vital health cause.
