Gran Fondo coming back to Miami in November
More than a thousand participants are expected to participate in the California event, which will offer a fairly urban experience and a great opportunity to ride the distance, while experiencing the full flavor of a Giro d'Italia event.
“The Giro has a significant role in the sport, culture and social life of Italy,” said Consul General of Italy in Los Angeles Giuseppe Perrone. “It tells about our tradition and more than a century of history of our Country. The concept of making this experience available to an international audience, represents a great way to promote Italy. Pasadena, featuring tens of miles of bike routes, is definitely a perfect location to stage a cycling event, which is enjoying a growing success on the West Coast of the U.S.”
The East Coasts is getting ready as well for the second edition of the Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia Miami-Coral Gables, to be held on November 10. Registration for this event just opened and riders are pouring from all over the United States, Europe and South America. After the successful edition of 2012, the exotic appeal of the Magic City is expected to attract this year more than 2,000 cyclists, completing a rich season sweeping from Coast to Coast.

I hope its organized better this time
If only the city would take the money they get from events like this an put it toward... safety for bikers.
Still, Miami remains a terrible biking city with bike lanes ending abruptly where you need them most. And of course it's full of homicidal maniacs driving while chatting on their phones.
