REGISTER HERE FOR THE JULY 23 GRAND FUNDO!
JAM Fund Grand Fundo at the Cummington Fairgrounds
This year's GRAND FUNDO is Sunday, July 23, 2023. Thank you for your generosity and supporting the JAM Fund program!
Enjoy camping at the fairgrounds, music, food and of course, our incredible bike rides! New this year is our waterslide! We can't wait to try it out! Dust off your tent and camping gear and join us on Saturday night at the fairgrounds. We'll have a shakeout ride and swim on Saturday afternoon as well. On Sunday, we'll have staging by the fairground bleachers at 8:45 a.m. and roll out at 9:00 a.m.
The routes are mostly gravel and double track. We suggest 40c tires and 1:1 for a climbing gear minimum. Bring a bathing suit and take a dip in the sweet rivers and lakes along the routes.
Each year, the JAM Fund provides grants to developing cyclists who demonstrate a commitment to the sport and show enthusiasm to do their best. The grant comes in the form of financial and/or equipment support and may also include professional training. Any cyclist between the age of 10 and 25 may apply. JAM Fund is looking for passionate cyclists who are interested in becoming better people on and off the bike. We encourage young people to be community stewards and good members of society while we support their dreams. Perhaps they will move through the ranks and work toward joining our fully-supported JAM Fund Cycling Team. Grant applicants are not required to race. They just need to love bikes or really want to try one. Our program is growing and we are proud to have more than doubled the number of grants from 13 in 2016 to 35 in 2018. We distribute the grants during our July Grand Fundo, and grant recipients are required to attend. Recipients will gain free entry to the event. We thank our donors and supporters that allow us to have such a successful development program. See the list of grant recipients here.
