Almost anyone in half decent athletic shape can do and finish a gran fondo of any length

But most people doing the ride would set a goal of how long it would take them to finish, whether or not they're gonna take rest stops, etc. To achieve that u gotta train for it.

I'm pretty sure that web page u referenced shows the course and the meters ascended. Take that info and replicate it locally and u will know what it takes.

Riding and finishing any fondo is a great achievement. But setting goals and training for it would make the result that much better.

Have you ridden 160kms in one ride before? It does take time to train for that... You have less than 8 weeks to prepare for 160kms with a lot of ascending.

I've been training for the whistler 120km fondo since winter time lol.
