A New Partner for an Even Greater Cause

We’re excited to introduce a new event producer, Free Bikes 4 Kidz (FB4K), an incredible nonprofit that refurbishes used bikes, pairs them with a brand-new helmet, and connects them with a kid in need.

So, what's changing? Most immediately the date, but more impactfully, 100% of all 2025 rider registration fees will benefit FB4K.

Read more about how our 11th year of Fulton Gran Fondo will foster bigger & better celebrations and create greater opportunity to make an impact.

What if one ride could change a life?

On Saturday, September 27, 2025, hundreds of cyclists will gather for the Fulton Gran Fondo, a fundraising ride where every registration helps put a bike and helmet into the hands of a child who’s never had one.

Choose from three routes:
→ Piccolo Fondo (25 miles): Brewery → Pizza Lucé Hopkins → back to Fulton for Oktoberfest. Great for families and casual riders.

→ Medio Fondo (50 miles): Brewery → Minnetonka → Excelsior → Tonka Bay → Orono → Plymouth → back to Fulton for the post-ride party.

→ Gran Fondo (100 miles): The ultimate challenge, with stops at Tonka Bay, Watertown, Delano, and Medina before finishing back at Fulton Brewery for a full Oktoberfest celebration.

This ride supports Free Bikes 4 Kidz (FB4K.org), which has donated 200,000+ bikes to under-resourced kids and aims to reach 1 million by 2035. Founder Terry Esau says it best: “Your first bike wasn’t just transportation—it was joy, freedom, and possibility. That’s what we’re giving these kids.”
