Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos

Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos 2018

Date is Saturday June 23, 2018

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. The event takes place on Saturday the 23rd of June 2018 in the Spanish and French Pyrenees. Spain’s largest Cyclo-Sportive starts and finishes in Sabiñánigo and our 4 star Spa hotel is in the nearby Jaca.

DETAILS
Guaranteed entry into the 2018 Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos, Spain’s largest Cyclosportive is now available with Sports Tours International. 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. Hotels in the area are also very difficult to get. That’s where we come in!

You have the choice of 2 types of entry:

Both entries include a Spanish day license worth €10 which is obligatory to take part in the event.
1. Front pen behind VIP riders and riders with previous top times – available at £170 per entry
2. Normal entry based on rider’s previous performance in the Quebrantahuesos or another Gran Fondo or Sportive – available at £120 per entry
