Event Description

Get ready to conquer The Mountain! What kicked off as a spontaneous shop ride on Father's Day 2017 with just a handful of riders has grown into a full-blown Gran Fondo extravaganza! For our 8th Annual ride We're thrilled to announce that for 2024, GET A BIKE Cyclery has partnered with TMTA (Tehachapi Mountain Trail Association) to bring you the one and only FDR (Father's Day Ride) Tour De Tehachapi! Yep, we're keeping the FDR title, because, let's be honest, it's become way too legendary to change! And here's the kicker: unlike that one time, FDR won't be crashing on Father's Day itself! We've learned our lesson—ha ha ha! And this event is definitely NOT just for the dads anymore! This year, mark your calendars for Saturday, June 15th, as we pedal through the stunning hills of Tehachapi, CA -a climber's paradise indeed! 

🏁 GranFondo – Full Tour (100+/-mi) 6500ft

🏁 MedioFondo - Half Tour (60+/-mi) 4500ft

🏁 PiccoloFondo - Part Tour (30+/-mi) 1500ft
