Organizers have just announced the second Riviera Nayarit Grand Fondo, a cycling competition, to take place December 3-4. A 15.2k Time Trial is new for this year’s competition with 100 cyclists riding; there are an expected 200 participants for the 160K Gran Fondo and the 80K Medio Fondo. The race will follow a route that will cross through the towns of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Punta de Mita, Higuera Blanca and Sayulita, offering cyclists amazing landscapes and secure roadways.

During the November 23rd press conference Event Director Belín Villasante offered details on the event accompanied by sponsors and local authorities. She stated there is an estimated 30% increase in participants, compared to last year’s event.

There were a little less than 200 participants in 2015, while this year they’re expecting approximately 300 cyclists from different states including Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, and Guanajuato, as well as international representatives from the United States and Canada.

The municipal and state authorities, particularly the Transit and Public Protection departments, have lent their vital support to the project, which is needed to guarantee the safety of the riders. For the two days of the event they will be in place with plenty of signage and officers coordinating the circulation of cars. It’s important to point out there will be no road closures.

The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau has been present since the first edition of this competition, which is expected to become an anchor event for the Destination.

There will be over 30 categories for both men and women athletes in all the competitions. For details visit www.granfondonayarit.com, call (322) 209-0716 or email  moc.t1711615359iraya1711615359nodno1711615359fnarg1711615359@ofni1711615359

“Vallarta Lifestyles is really well positioned. We are aware of that because we have seen people who arrive to our jewelry with the issue or the advertising in hand asking about the product that is featured there. This dynamic is really interesting for us and makes us glad.”
