COZUMEL, Mexico, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- El Cid
Vacations Club members who want to take part in one of the world's
most famous cycling events should check out the Gran Fondo. This
year's installment of the race will take competitors through the
entire terrain of Cozumel, from
flat, scenic beaches and roadways up into more challenging areas
that are known for high winds. El Cid Vacations Club notes that
Nov. 13, 2016 is the official date for one of the most breathtaking
cycling competitions in the world.

Participants come back to the Fondo year after year because of
the great fans and fantastic race support. El Cid Vacations Club
points out that the entire course is protected by motorcycle
marshals and hundreds of race volunteers.
There is also plenty of mechanical support for the cyclists who
need it along the way. El Cid Vacations Club members who have taken
part in the Gran Fondo note that participants get all sorts of
great gifts and prizes, like cycling jerseys, commemorative medals,
and professional start-to-finish medical and technical support.
Touring the entire circumference of Cozumel during the race, participants in the
Gran Fondo will view dazzling scenery while they pump their way
along the Mayan pathways that were trod by those ancient people
some 3,000 years ago.
El Cid Vacations Club members who take part in the Gran Fondo
will enjoy fully closed roads throughout the entire race course, a
massive 2-day expo, finisher medals, packed goodie bags, precise
timing from start to finish, Mexican-style after-race meals and a
full slate of local entertainment.
El Cid Vacations Club members who want to ride in the Gran Fondo
to practice their drafting skills will have their work cut out for
them. The winds during the race can be as high as 25 mph and can be
a really unique force to handle.
Riders tend to meet the wind as a group, using their drafting
ability to help each other through the gustiest portions of the
course. El Cid Vacations Club wants everyone to enjoy the Gran
Fondo in 2016 and take this incredible opportunity to see
Cozumel the way the Mayan
conquerors did three millennia ago.
There is no better way for El Cid Vacation Club members to get a
taste of what Cozumel adventure is
all about. The Gran Fondo is one of the area's most invigorating
sports challenges.
