Before your tires touch the tarmac, the adventure begins.

The Gran Fondo Riviera Nayarit isn’t just a ride - it’s a destination. A weekend where coastal roads meet crashing waves, and the scent of fresh tacos and rarified tequila drift through the palm-lined breeze. Where riders arrive to sun-soaked days, and leave with more than memories - they leave with stories.

Starting at Playa FIBBA, your journey rolls through jungle hills, seaside villages, and highway stretches with ocean on one side and cheers on the other. It’s the kind of ride that gets under your skin - in the best way.

Registration is now open - your Riviera ride starts here.

Every rider leaves the Riviera with a story.

From the early sun casting gold over palm-lined roads to the cheers echoing in beachside pueblos, the Gran Fondo Riviera Nayarit offers a ride unlike any other - equal parts adventure, challenge, and coastal joy.

Cruise through sweeping curves, jungle canopies, and seaside straights where the scent of salt and street tacos fills the air. You’ll stop at vibrant aid stations stocked with local treats and energy, then roll on with new friends and ocean views at every turn.

The Gran Fondo is all about flow.

It’s fast enough to feel the thrill, chill enough to soak it all in. This is a celebration on two wheels - with a finish line that leads straight to the beach.

The Nayarit Forte is inspired by the legendary Rockstar Forte of RBC GranFondo Whistler - a ride for cyclists who crave the next level.

It’s longer, tougher, and richer in rewards.

Climb out of coastal calm into sun-drenched jungle highways, tackle rolling terrain with panoramic views, and descend into vibrant towns where locals line the route. This is a route that challenges the legs and lifts the spirit.

Not everyone will ride the Forte.
But those who do? Legends in the making.

When the ride ends, the celebration begins.

As you roll into Playa FIBBA, the sound of the surf blends with beats from the beach bar. This isn’t just a finish line - it’s a full-on Riviera fiesta, where sand, sun, and spirit take center stage.

🌮 Tacos sizzling, bacanora pouring
Live music and dancing in the sand
👙 Bikinis, board shorts, and that golden-hour glow

It’s a place where racers turn into revelers, friends become family, and the whole beach feels like a finish line celebration. Whether you're cooling down with a cocktail or kicking back with your crew, this is how Mexico does post-ride - warm, wild, and unforgettable.

Ride hard. Finish smiling. Party barefoot.
