Bill,

The Gran Fondo website is granfondonationalseries.com 
<http://granfondonationalseries.com> where you can get all the 
information on what a Gran Fondo is and also click on the Highland Gran 
Fondo which will be taking place in Butler on June 7th and downloadable 
maps on the route for it.  I will need six riders for it which they will 
be paid $150.00 for the day.  The riders should show up at the event 1/2 
hour before it starts.  They will support the 60 and 100 mile loop.  The 
main thing that a Ride Marshal does during a cycling event is keeping 
the cyclist safe and they do that by having their flasher on at all 
times and watching out for debris in front of the riders that can be 
removed and also cars that might be turning in front of them or coming 
out on the road in front of them.  The Ride Marshals will also be able 
to partake of the breakfast before the event and the dinner after the 
event as well as stop at the feed zones for lunch.  The below 
information is what a Fondo is about.  I’m also sending you a Gran Fondo 
sheet for your riders to read for what they should be doing and looking 
out for as well as a rule sheet for the cyclist.  If anyone has any 
questions please have them contact me via e-mail or phone call.

*A Gran Fondo is a cycling challenge that takes bicycle racing to the 
next level. Part personal challenge, part serious competition, the Gran 
Fondo National Series courses lead riders through country roads with 
challenging climbs and incredible scenery.  Courses are offered in 
lengths of ~30, ~60, and ~100 miles so participants can take part in a 
distance that matches their goals and ability.  Each rider is assigned 
an electronic timing-chip to keep track of their progress throughout the 
course and to allow riders to compete for best time through highlighted 
sections of the course. There is no start to finish time as in 
traditional racing formats, but rather only time sections count toward a 
rider's competition time.  This means you can take your time between 
race sections, stop at the aid stations, and regroup to enjoy the ride 
with your friend and teammates. At the finish a hot meal and beverage 
awaits you, as well as finisher medals for the gran route finishers. 
  Whether riding for a cause, a personal goal, or for competition, the 
Gran Fondo National Series courses are some of the most beautiful 
courses in the North America.*
