10am Roll Out.

We will meet and begin the ride across the street from our shop in the Kellogg Eye Center parking lot

After the ride we will meet at the Lowertown Bar & Cafe, just across the parking lot from the bike shop. They have outdoor seating and plenty of drinks and access to food.

Parking is limited in Lowertown. If you have to drive please use THIS lot, just across Broadway. Please do not park behind our shop, we want to leave plenty of spots for The Northside Grille.

The Fundo is a self supported, un-timed and non-competitive ride through the dirt roads and bike paths of Washtenaw County. Go fast or go slow, it really does not matter as long as you are having fun. This is a mass start event, but expect the group to split up along the way.

Groups of riders will form based on speed and fitness but if you want to ensure you have company recruit some friends to join!

Make sure you have everything you need to complete the ride and navigate yourself back to the start, or home.

The planned route is 53 or 25 miles of mixed surface riding, showcasing some of the best roads in the area.

Below are links to our intended routes. All riders are encouraged to review the route, download it to their phone/GPS device or print out a cue sheet for reference throughout the ride. There will be no route markers so having the route with you if you separate from the group is a good idea.

The 53 mile route passes through Whitmore Lake, where there are opportunities to grab a snack, although not every group or rider will stop, so make your own choices. Here is a short list of stops along the way:

  • Pace & Speed of the ride

    It’s up to you! Go fast or slow. Stop for pictures and coffee, or set a personal best time! Although we will start as a group, riders will quickly split into smaller groups and complete the ride at different rates. Some may ride alone, some will make new friends to ride with.

  • What to bring

    While we are traveling in a group, each rider is expected to be self-sufficient and bring all supplies, tools, food and other items they will need for the ride. If you are not sure what you need please ask questions!

  • After the ride

    We will end the ride at the Lowertown Bar & Cafe, just across the parking lot from or shop. They will have plenty of drinks to choose from. They have a rotating selection of food trucks, and you can see their schedule here.

  • Rules of the Road

    While most of this ride is on dirt roads, we will be on some busy paved roads as well and sharing the roads with cars. HERE is a wonderful article from our friends at Michigan Bike Law that outlines some rules and guidelines for having a safe ride and being good representatives of the cycling community.
