Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos

30th edition of Spain's biggest Cyclo

Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos 2021

Saturday September 18, 2021

Duration: 2 or 3 nights Distance: 205km

The Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos or “la Quebranta” or the ‘Bone Breaker’ is Spain’s most popular Cyclo-Sportive. We just call it QH. You will not get an entry for this event as it sells out within hours each year. We have guaranteed entries available with a hotel in Jaca near the start and finish. The event takes place on Saturday 18 September 2021 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 guaranteed entries with a hotel stay of 2 nights in Jaca. (Additional nights are available on request).

The Broleur brothers were with us in 2019. Here is their review of the 2019 Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos
