On November 9th approximately 200 cyclists will take to the pavement with El Grupo youth and their coaches in a noncompetitive ride to raise money and awareness for El Grupo Youth Cycling, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Riders can choose from 3 distances – 35, 50 or 75 miles.

The Fall Fondo was adapted from the Italian version of a Gran Fondo. Gran Fondo is an Italian term that loosely translates to “Big Ride.” Gran Fondos are typically mass participation cycling events that have enjoyed popularity worldwide. Food, drinks, entertainment and a raffle/auction are always part of a Fondo and 2025’s event will be no exception. After the ride, participants will enjoy a meal together at the El Grupo Clubhouse, share stories about their ride, and interact with our youth & their families while enjoying music, prizes and a raffle to raise additional funds for our programming.

Please consider supporting our mission by riding in or sponsoring this event. Funds raised benefit our youth development programming, which can only happen because of support from our community! Visit www.elgrupocycling.org to learn more.
