"Marin County was chosen because it ticks all the boxes: it’s big, it’s beautiful and it has all the facilities we need to make a day at my gran fondo a really fun day out," Voigt said.
"We’re going to try to make the ride with me as interactive as possible. I want to ride and talk to as many people as I can on the day, and going by how many of you guys turn up at these events - that could be a lot of people. I also want to try to bring and share some of the best experiences I’ve had from my pro racing career right around the world to this event – I can’t share the details yet, but all I know is that it’s going to be great fun."
The event will also be fundraiser in support of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition.
