About Us

Gran Fondo PEI was originally founded by Cycling Prince Edward Island in 2013 and later is was run by the PEI non-profit organization Gran Fondo PEI Inc which was led by a volunteer Board of Directors. In 2025 Gran Fondo PEI re-joined Cycling PEI which shares the vision of inspiring people to engage in cycling on PEI.

We represent a range of road and mountain bike disciplines, as well as recreational, active transportation, youth and competitive cycling.
