Grand Fondo Come Back - Ready or Not?

Two years ago, after a 30-year break from cycling, I rode 7.6 km. In a few days, I’ll take on Amy’s Gran Fondo — 122 km and nearly 1,900 meters of climbing. At 70, it’s the toughest ride of my life.
In this episode — the first in the Gran Fondo Series — I take you through my final prep:
✔️ Bike setup
✔️ Fuel and gear
✔️ Training
✔️ Ride strategy
I’ve been documenting my journey back to fitness here on YouTube — and this is the ride it’s all been leading to. If you're returning to cycling, training for something big, or just looking for a bit of motivation — you're in the right place.
