Gran Fondo, an Italian term meaning “Big Ride” or “Great Endurance Ride,” represents long-distance cycling that combines endurance, determination, and the joy of riding together. More than a race, a Gran Fondo celebrates personal achievement, teamwork, and the spirit of pushing limits on the saddle.
The Gran Fondo Koheda Ride beautifully reflected this spirit, bringing together passionate cyclists for an unforgettable endurance experience around the scenic Koheda routes near Hyderabad. Featuring rolling terrain, challenging stretches, and nearly 900 meters of elevation gain, the ride tested both fitness and resilience while rewarding riders with breathtaking landscapes and an incredible riding experience.
The inaugural edition, launched in January 2026, received an overwhelming response with close to 170 registrations and around 155 riders participating. Cyclists from diverse backgrounds rode together as one community, motivating and supporting each other throughout the journey. More than just covering kilometers, Gran Fondo Koheda became a celebration of fitness, cycling camaraderie, and the growing endurance riding culture fostered by BOH. Inspired by the enthusiasm and success of the event, Bike-O-Holics is proud to make Gran Fondo Koheda a yearly signature ride series, continuing its mission to promote healthier lifestyles, road safety, sustainable mobility, and a stronger cycling community.
