Get in one last spin before the big day! You have your choice of two rides, both meeting at the front entrance of New Belgium Brewing (500 Linden St address). You’ll have two shakeout ride options. Both routes are new for 2026. Please download your route:
20-mile Longer Route will be led out by Scheels rider leaders, but you are encouraged to find your own pace group.
14-mile Shorter Route will have ride leaders & sweepers to make sure everyone makes it back to the venue safely!
If you are attending either of our shakeout rides, you’ll need to fill out the waiver through this link.
Both rides will get a preview of the last several miles of the course (including our infamous Oasis Aid Station). Both rides end at the FoCo Fondo Bike and Outdoor Lifestyle Expo at the back lot of New Belgium Brewing (entrance off Buckingham), and packet pick-up will be available until 5:00 pm.
Don’t forget to sign up for one of two special, limited tours for FoCo Fondo riders! Learn about the birth and growth of this iconic craft brewery, woven in with bikes and unique culture. Plus, you’ll get to try a bunch of their beers, just sayin’: 1pm & 3 pm tours deets & sign up here.
