Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos

Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos 2019

Saturday June 22, 2019

Duration: 2 or 3 nights Distance: 205km

The Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos or “la Quebranta” or the ‘Bone Breaker’, as this event is commonly called is Spain’s most popular Cyclo-Sportive. You will not get an entry for this event as it sells out within hours each year but we have guaranteed entries available with a hotel in Jaca near the start and finish. The event takes place on Saturday the 22nd of June 2019 in the Spanish and French Pyrenees. Spain’s largest Cyclo-Sportive starts and finishes in Sabiñánigo.

DETAILS
The Gran Fondo Quabrantahuesos is Spain’s largest Cyclosportive and the best Cyclosportive that you have never heard of. A must-do event. As this event passes through spectacular protected areas of natural beauty and for the participant’s safety, the number of cyclists is limited to a relatively small field. For this reason and given the high demand to enter, there is a lottery and the event is vastly over-subscribed so is extremely difficult to get into so that’s where Sports Tours International come in. We provide travel packages with guaranteed entries, a 2 or 3 nights stay at a hotel near the start and finish, airport transfers from Zaragoza airport and the services of our experienced host and mechanic.
