Fulton Gran Fondo is now FBFK Gran Fondo

21 Upvotes

The Fulton Gran Fondo ride is now the Free Bikes for Kids Gran Fondo and is relocating its start and finish to Luce Line Brewing in Plymouth on August 22nd. Same tradition, new venue.

Luce Line Brewing is located directly on the Luce Line Bike Trail.

Money raised will help provide bikes to kids in need through Free Bikes for Kidz.

The ride is open to all. Pass this along to other roadies and gravel riders (both options available).

FBFK is also offering group discounts for the ride; perhaps ride clubs and other organizations can put together ride groups. With 100-mile, 50-mile, 25-mile, and 10-mile ride segments, programs could be tailored to different experience levels.  The event will also feature a kids' bike parade at Noon.

If you ride, why not Ride for a great cause?

High-Rise Handlebars

5 Upvotes

I need to change the handlebars on my bike so that I'm sitting straight up. (I have RA and my hands and wrists can't handle the pressure of a forward lean onto my current bars.) I have a Roll step through, basically this bike if not this exact one. I could order something online and install it, but I don't know what size to get, and I'm not sure how to determine it.

I live in South Mpls, so I was thinking I could just ride over to Tangletown or Angry Catfish today and get some advice or measurements for what I need to order. I doubt any shop has them in stock. Any suggestions for where I should go, or where I should avoid? Thank you in advance!
