The FoCo Fondo (July 21st, 2024) heard that gravel lotteries are super hot right now, so the Fort Collins gravel ride decided to make its own Fake A$$ Lottery. All currently registered riders, will receive their scratcher in the mail in the coming days. The team at FoCo Fondo hopes to see you scratching them on the Internets.
Two lucky dogs will receive a grand prize — either a VIP ticket to FoCo Fondo or a jersey of choice, so check your scratcher closely.
Don’t worry, everyone’s a winner at FoCo Fondo. Register at BikeReg.

The 2022 FoCo Fondo featured some of Northern Colorado’s incredible mixed surface and gravel road riding with multiple expertly-curated routes ranging from 12 to 145 miles. All while fostering an inclusive and accommodating environment for a diverse group of riders.
All year long, gravel races and events seem to pop up in towns across the US. With its approachability, it’s no surprise that “gravel” has become so popular with cyclists in disciplines spanning the continuum between mountain and road riding.

Having lived in Fort Collins, CO for nearly fifteen years, the FoCo Fondo is a special one for me, as it shows off some of Northern Colorado’s incredible mixed surface riding with multiple expertly-curated routes while also fostering an inclusive and comfortable environment for a diverse group of riders.
A few weeks ago, at the tail end of a trip to the Choice City, I jumped in a course car with locals Peter Discoe and Taylor Kruse to document the event.
