GFNY co-founder and President Lidia Fluhme is the creator of world's most spectacular start line in cycling, George Washington Bridge. She did not accept 'no' as an answer back in 2010, no matter how often it was voiced. Without the start on GWB, GFNY would not exist. Ever since, Lidia is making sure that you get to ride on closed roads or with police moderated traffic. The 7-time Ironman Hawaii finisher, NYU business school graduate and former Wall Street banker loves a really challenging granfondo, preferably in Italy. She has written a very helpful guide on How To Tackle A GFNY

GFNY co-founder and CEO Uli Fluhme is making sure that all GFNY events are true granfondos in the Italian tradition: you get to have the right of way at each intersection, will be timed start to finish and your result will be based on your time. Uli is a former Wall Street attorney but it is his 20 years of granfondo racing that led to GFNY. He continues to race the toughest granfondos around the world, including all GFNY events. Some of his many visions and ideas make it into GFNY. If he's not working on growing GFNY or racing his bike, Uli is lobbying hard for antidoping. He's a no holds barred voice since 2000 and was key to implement in- and out of competition testing at GFNY. You can discuss antidoping with him on Twitter @ulif.

Matthias is a former elite rider from Belgium who now lives in Peru. He began racing gran fondos as a way to travel the world, and after participating in several GFNY events, he became part of our team. Matthias plays a key role in organizing the GP NYC, organizing group rides for GFNY Day and throughout the year, coordinating our ambassadors, and much more.

Luis Enrique Lemus Dávila is a former pro and four-time Mexican National Road Champion (2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016). During his seven years on the Pro Tour circuit, he traveled the globe from race to race.

Luis started at GFNY with Gruppo Show, and now he’s in charge of social media. He offers an insightful perspective on cycling, sports travel, and GFNY racing from all angles.

You might have seen Talia creating content for our social media or at our races. She also makes sure GFNY’s websites are always on point and does much more behind the scenes. She’s a Mexican-Swiss living in Aguascalientes with a Fashion Design degree from IED Barcelona, one of the top design schools in the world.

Of course, Talia is passionate about cycling and also enjoys running. Whenever she's not traveling to help produce GFNY races, she also likes to race herself.

Flavio de Luna is a former pro cyclist. After retiring, he started working as a videographer but has never stopped enjoying training and racing. He joined GFNY as part of the video team, so you can see the whole GFNY experience through his camera.

Our multitalented Alejandro is the man behind the camera. You’ll see him at GFNY expos and races with his camera and drone, capturing the best shots of the weekend action. Many of our race videos are produced by him.

Alejandro is a dad, seasoned skateboarder and owner of a black belt in taekwondo.
