About The Vino Fondo- Big Shark Bicycle Company and Sugar Creek Winery bring the European cycling tradition of the Gran Fondo cycling experience to Missouri’s hilliest wine country. A traditional pairing of challenging riding and a tour of some of Missouri’s best vineyards. Experience the same roads and towns visited by the internationally acclaimed Tour of Missouri Professional Cycling Race as well as some of the toughest Gravel Roads around. RETURNING FOR 2026: Two gravel/road “Groad” Options- The Mondo and Midi Grindo Fondos.

The Vino Fondo and Grindo Fondo are fully supported, timed rides. Although not a race, all participants will receive two measures of their achievement: overall ride time AND their climbing time over the penultimate beast, the Schluersburg (Road) or Callaway Fork (Gravel). There are three road and two ‘groad’ distance options, each tuned to maximize scenery and include as many of the regions challenging “topographic features” as we can find. This is a challenging and rewarding ride to complete.

About Gran Fondo’s- Also called Cyclosportif rides, Gran Fondo’s are challenging rides that combine the best elements of epic recreational rides, some of the characteristics of a race, and the visual experiences of the touring cyclist. The Gran Fondo experience is a true melting pot for cyclists of all abilities- with one goal, the satisfaction of achievement.
