If you’re attending our pre-shakeout coffee & burrito ride hangout spot at Wolverine Farms, we’ll leave from there to meet everyone else by 9:30 am at New Belgium Brewing. You’ll have two shakeout ride options. Both routes are new for 2026. Please download your route:
20-mile Longer Route p/b Castelli & Ben Delaney from The Ride with Ben Delaney. This ride will be led out by ride leaders from Castelli, including Ben Delaney himself, but you are encouraged to find your own pace group.
14-mile Shorter Route p/b Zeal Optics. This ride will have ride leaders & sweepers to make sure everyone makes it back to the venue safely! Zeal Optics will also be hosting a slow race at 12 pm at the Expo!
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, hosted by Fat Tire & Trek). 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.
