Event Parking and Shuttle Service

The Gran Fondo Alleghany begins in Covington, and finishes in Clifton Forge, VA, 12 miles distant. To encourage participation in the post-ride block party (and to avoid a weary ride back to your car), we request that riders park in a designated parking lot in Clifton Forge, close to the finish.

Shuttle buses will run from the parking lot in Clifton Forge to the start in Covington on Saturday morning from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM. Buses will depart approximately every 10-15 minutes. The buses are not equipped to carry bicycles, so please make use of the bike valet in Covington, which is available for overnight storage on Friday night (you may drop off your bike after number pick-up), or for temporary storage on Saturday morning (6:30-8:30).

Bike Valet is at 410 W. Main Street. Bicycles checked in at the school will be protected by an overnight armed security guard and the building will be under extra patrol by the Covington Police.
