A Bánffy Kerékpáros 60 a kolozsvári EKE szervezésében július 13-án megrendezésre kerülő, Daray Erzsébet javaslata nyomán született Bánffy Miklós Emlék- és Teljesítménytúrák egyik változata. A túra során olyan helyszíneket érintünk, amelyek korábban a losonci Bánffy család uradalmához, illetve erdőbirtokához tartoztak, valamint megjelennek Bánffy Miklós Erdélyi történet című regénytrilógiájában.
Az útvonal Székelyjó határától a Kőhegy-tóig nincs leaszfaltozva, egy kb. 2 km-es szakaszon (a táv 48-ik km-étől az 50-dik km-ig) durva kőtörmelékes, innen azonban kellemes-füves gyalogösvény vezet a tóig.

This route is one version of the Bánffy Memorial Endurance Tour that is organized by the Transylvanian Carpathia Society – Kolozsvár 1891 on July 13 of each year based on Erzsébet Daray's concept. The route leads through places that were part of the Bánffy family estate for centuries and are also mentioned in Miklós Bánffy's novel The Transylvanian Trilogy.
"Bánffy [...] seems to have been well-versed in contemporary psychology. His chief asset, though, is a range that lets him depict nature in luscious detail (early in the Transylvanian spring, “the snows had recently melted on the hillsides and now all the south-facing meadows and slopes looked as if they had just been washed”) - Dennis Drabelle: The Transylvanian Trilogy by Miklós Bánffy. The Washington Post. December 10, 2013
The surface of the route is mostly paved, however it contains an unpaved and a gravel section of about 4 km.
