21.01.2022 In 2011, the Amy Gillett Foundation hosted the first Amy's Gran Fondo, and with it, the first Australian Qualifier Event for the UCI Gran Fondo World Series. Today, 10 years on, we are delighted to announce that Victoria has secured the 2025 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. Each year Amy's Gran Fondo is the only Victorian qualifier for this World Championship event that moves from country to country annually. In 2025, the dynamic will be reversed to see riders qualify in ...the preceding year, and travel with their friends & families to Victoria to compete in their Age Group to be a UCI Gran Fondo World Champion. Although the event is awarded to Victoria and will be hosted at a Regional Victorian location to be determined, Amy's Gran Fondo would like to thank the Surf Coast Shire Council, Regional Roads Victoria, Cycling Australia, Visit Victoria Visit Melbourne, for their support in the body of work that has set the foundations for making the 2025 event possible.

17.01.2022 Amy's is riding for the @amygillettfdn to raise money and awareness for cyclist safety "Amy’s Gran Fondo has been a part of my family’s life since 2010, we did the 120km ride regularly. One of our group was hit by a car while commuting by bike in 2016. As part of her recovery and rehab she worked hard to get back into cycling, and then rode a recumbent bike in Amy’s Medio Fondo, 45 kilometres a year after getting a brain injury - and she led a great team along the Great O...cean Road. I guess the AGF has been a major part of our downhills and uphills - we all cycle on." Thank you Stephen for sharing why your team rides in the AGF each year. Comment below what AGF means to you! #AmysFondo2020 @ Lorne, Victoria See more

Since then, the AGF continues to work to make roads safe for cycling in Australia.
