Giro di contea Geauga, Italian for the Tour of Geauga County, is a word of mouth group ride of friends, friends of friends, brothers of the bike in celebration of the closing of the road cycling season and the beautiful fall foliage of Geauga County. Drawing inspiration from Il Lombardia, which is the traditional close to European professional road racing season and one of cycling's five monuments, and Rapha's Gentleman's Races, our ride encourages friendly banter and competition but the goal is to play on a beautiful landscape with friends and future friends as a group and to share one last epic day on the bike this season. So please come join me, and some friends of mine in Chardon, OH at the La Classica della Foglie Morte: The Classic of the Falling Leaves
