Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos

Spain's biggest Gran Fondo

Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos 2020

Saturday June 20, 2020

Duration: 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. We just call it QH. 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 20 June 2020 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 3 night’s stay at a 4* hotel near the start and finish, airport transfers from Zaragoza airport and the services of our experienced host and mechanic.

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