Gran Fondos are good for one point for a 5>4 upgrade, with a maximum of 3 of the 10 points coming from Gran Fondos.

You can get up to 5 points from an education clinic, with the points determined by USA Cycling.

But again only 5>4.

Once you're a 4, Clinics and Fondos are worth zero for upgrades.
