Two things.
We've just published the official roster for all competitive categories at the 2026 edition of Levi's GranFondo. If your name appears on the list, you are eligible for a podium presentation should you place according to the criteria outlined in the Rider Guide.
A few important notes: Being on the roster doesn't mean you have to race competitively — it simply means you're automatically included in the eligibility pool if you finish in a podium position within your listed category. And if your name isn't on the list, it means the route you're registered for does not include a podium presentation. No drama, just clarity.

Thanks to Cervélo's incredible support, we are expanding our U18 ride free program — and this time we mean all of it. Every route. Every category. Whether you're lining up to race in a Juniors category on the Medio or Geysers, or just want to come out and ride any route on the map as a non-competitive participant, it's free if you're under 18. Previously, free entry was limited to the Junior racing categories, and honestly, that was a miss on our part. We want every U18 athlete at Levi's GranFondo. Period.
Additionally, for those of you who've aged out of that program but are still closer to your first bike than your first mortgage — we're introducing a 50% discount for anyone 23 or younger. If you were between 18 and 23 years old on January 1st of this year, the discount is applied automatically at checkout after you enter your birthdate. No codes, no hoops. Just sign up.
No cheating, though — your ID is required at packet pickup, and gray hairs are a bit of a giveaway.
Exclusions:
* Age based discounts do not apply to Skipstone's Growler Road Race.
* U18 Riders registering for free must pay for their rider meal separately.
We're doing something different this year, and we're pretty excited about it.
The Windsor Town Green is surrounded by incredible restaurants. For years, we've imported food trucks to feed you after the ride. This year, we asked ourselves a simple question: Why are we driving food past food?
So instead of bringing it in, we're sending you across the street. We've partnered with four local establishments — Lupe's Diner & Agave Room, Himalayan Restaurant, KC's, and KIN — to prepare your post-ride meal. We're talking burritos, tikka masala, fresh naan, cold cut wraps, chicken pesto — a legitimate spread of options including vegan and vegetarian dishes, all made by people who actually live and work in Windsor.
It's a better meal for you and a better day for the businesses that make this town worth coming back to. That's a trade we'll make every time.
Take your food tag off your rider number bib (you'll be given that at packet pickup), and redeem it at any of the above restaurants. Food will be prepared for you as a takeout order, then just walk right back into the festival at the Town Green. Piece of cake (or whatever you ordered)
See you out there.
