About the Grand Fundo
In the cycling world, a gran fondo is a massive group ride/race, that can attract riders numbering in the thousands, encompassing all ages and ability levels. The Grand Fundo removes all the racing aspects from the ride but keeps all the all the fun. The route will take about four hours for most riders. The route is mostly dirt roads. We will have fully stocked rest stops where you can refuel and hydrate. There will be support riders and follow cars but they cannot access the trails and so please bring proper tools to fix a flat. Immediately after the ride, we hope you’ll stay and hang out with us for music and a delicious post-ride cookout, our prize drawing and more!
About the Mini Fundo
The Mini Fundo features the same challenging beginnings of the Grand Fundo but will get you back home more quickly. If you are looking for 2.5 to 3.5 hours of riding but aren’t sure you can survive the full Fundo, then the 29-mile Mini Fundo is for you. Once you return, snacks will be available until our barbecue. The Mini Fundo is by no means a walk in the park. Over the course of 29 miles, the Mini Fundo will climb over 2400 feet and ride through technical sectors of double track.
About the Adventure Route
This route is 75-80 miles, which means about five or six hours and includes more remote technical roads. 40+c tires are a must, and a 1:1 gear ratio will make the climbs much more enjoyable. This is a challenging route, but is well worth the effort.
About the youth ride
10 miles out and back, leaving at 9 as well. We provide two ride chaperones.
About the JAM Fund
JAM is a registered 501c-3 organization founded by Jeremy Powers, Alec Donahue and Mukunda Feldman, good friends brought together through their passion for cycling. JAM's mission is to help motivated young cyclists reach their potential both on and off the bike, while not being limited by finances. This is reached through close mentoring and involvement in the cycling community. The JAM Fund is proud to award grants to young cyclists in and around Massachusetts who show enthusiasm, determination and desire to be their best. It's also our goal to showcase some of the amazing cycling that the Pioneer Valley offers! Every dollar raised through the Fundo goes directly to the JAM fund. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

JACK'S STORY
The Smile Like Jack Memorial Fund was established in memory of Jack William O’Brien, a loving son and brother, caring friend, and hard working young man that touched the lives of many with his contagious smile. Jack tragically passed away in a snowmobile accident on March 3rd, 2022. In his 20 short years, he had accomplished many things and leaves behind a legacy that is in a caliber of its own. Jack lived life to the fullest. He was always working exceptionally hard to accomplish his set of goals while also living the outdoorsman lifestyle: fishing, hunting, and riding. Our goal is that the Smile Like Jack Memorial Fund will bring other individuals (with similar passions) the opportunity to live their legacy just as Jack would - working immensely hard in the trades and living life to the fullest in the great outdoors.
For additional information on The Smile Like Jack Memorial Fund, and for live updates, please visit our website: https://smilelikejack.com

ABOUT FOLLOW MY STEPS
DID YOU KNOW?
Young Adults Who Were At-Risk for Falling Off Track but Had a Mentor Are:
55% more likely to enroll in college
130% more likely to hold leadership positions.
78% more likely to volunteer regularly
90% are interested in becoming a mentor
Our organization is headed by strong professional who are dedicated to elevating under-resourced students and their families. We understand that there is a disproportionate representation of minorities in key decision-making positions in all facets of leadership in the current time. We aim to close that gap by providing deserving students with the opportunity for financial, mental, and professional education. By offering mentorships to scholarship recipients, we aim to grow a network of like-minded individuals who will continuously give back to their communities and others alike.
