Every submission, every comment, every "you could've done this better" lands in front of a real person here at Bike Monkey. Then it gets sorted, debated, and folded into the planning documents that become next year's event. What you tell us in the next few days has a remarkable impact on how the 2027 edition of Levi's GranFondo takes shape.
There are two surveys this year, and both matter. The first one is ours, focused on the event itself — what worked, what didn't, what we missed. The second belongs to the Economic Development Board, who use it to measure the financial impact of an event like Levi's GranFondo on the region. That data is a big part of how we earn the continued backing that fuels this event's growth.
So we're asking for both. Be honest, be thorough, and don't be shy about the "why on earth did you put a feed zone there" notes. We want all of it.
Each completed survey is one entry to win. Complete both, and your name goes in the hat twice. Up for grabs: multiple entries to Levi's GranFondo 2027 (route of your choice), commemorative apparel, and access to our multi-day VIP experience. Winners get announced Monday, so don't sleep on this one.
Take the Economic Development Board survey
Behind the live broadcast, the drone shots, and the thousands of cyclists pouring through Sonoma County's hills — there's a quieter reason this event exists.
Since 2009, Levi's GranFondo has served organizations doing the work of showing up for kids in situations of abandonment and abuse — Forget Me Not Farm, TLC Child and Family Services, B-Rad, Social Advocates for Youth, and others stepping in where the system falls short.
This year, we raised more than $139,000 for that cause.
Thank you to the pros who each donated 2% of their earnings to King Ridge Foundation. Thank you to the donors and online fundraisers who showed up because they believe — like we do — that kids who've been left behind deserve a real shot.
The race is the spectacle. This is the substance.
If you needed help on course or at the festival this year, chances are it was a Mike's Bikes mechanic who got you back rolling. They were instrumental — at our aid stations, in the EXPO, wherever a wrench was needed. They've put together a little something to say thanks:
The dust has settled, but the stoke is still high! The crew from Mike's Bikes had a blast supporting riders at this year's Levi's GranFondo. Does your bike need a little post-race TLC? Or maybe you spent the weekend eyeing those Cervélo Caledonia builds at the EXPO? Or perhaps you were wondering how those Reserve wheels handled the chatter so smoothly? Or maybe you saw all of those fast-rolling Continental tires, but weren't quite ready to commit? Come see us at one of our Mike's Bikes locations - Let's keep your momentum rolling!
Take the surveys.
Get your bike tuned.
Know that what you tell us is what builds the next one.
Sincerely,
The cast and crew of Levi's GranFondo at Bike Monkey
