2013 Ovando Gran Fondo

A 57 mile fund raising bike ride for the MIssoula Symphony Association held on Sept 14th, 2013 in and around Ovando, MT. The ride included large areas of private ranch land and conservation easement lands which are rarely, if ever open to the general public. Riders used both mountain bikes and cross bikes to ride the mix of gravel and double track roadways. It was a magnificent day of riding in spectacular scenery. In its second year, the ride is getting even more popular. By all accounts, it was very well organized and a great event.
Note: There are close to 200 photos from the ride and include many shots of individual riders on the road and at the rest stops. It was not possible to capture photos of everyone and for that I apologize. If you are interested in purchasing prints of yourself or friends you may order right here through this site. A portion of the sales proceeds will go directly to the Missoula Symphony Association. Many of the photos are presented in specific formats (8x10, 8x12 etc ) and in both black and white or color. Many can be reformulated in different aspect ratios or reconverted to color if preferred.
