Choose between a Boutique Fondo Experience or a Guided Tour Experience

Our Boutique Fondo Experience features a common start time, limited field size, and self-guided route navigation, allowing riders the freedom to enjoy the journey at their own pace while still benefiting from a well-supported event atmosphere.

Our Guided Tour Experience is led by a dedicated guide team that manages navigation, provides immediate ride support, and shares the history, culture, and stories that make each destination unique.

Both formats each depart as a group at the designated start time (5-10 minutes apart) and follow the same curated route. Whether you prefer the independence of a self-guided ride or the camaraderie and local insight of riding with guides, you'll enjoy full SAG support, curated rest stops, and the community spirit that defines every Farm to Fork Fitness experience.

Best of all, there is no need to decide in advance. You may choose either experience on the day of the event and switch between formats based on your riding style, goals, or mood that day.
