What you need to know

The FUNdo is not a race, It’s 64 miles for the original FUNdo and 85 miles for the new HUNDO. (because it rides like a 100 miles) Both routes include approximately 20 miles of dirt roads. No rider will be left behind, rest stops will be provided along the route, lots of support riders and SRAM follow cars with spare wheels, tubes, tires and mechanics.  Following the FUNdo, we’ll retire for music, a generous raffle, our famous pig roast, bbq and beer, which we hope you will enjoy with us.

The HUNdo route is a 20-mile “lollipop” loop off of the original 65-mile FUNdo loop. We call it the HUNdo because it is so challenging that you’ll feel like you’ve ridden 100 miles when you’re done. As a participant in the HUNdo, you won’t miss any of the amazing views or roads offered on the FUNdo.  We’re going to have extra rest stops, but this ride has skulls and cross bones for a reason. In our opinion only, category 1 or 2 riders, or folks who take training very seriously, should tackle this challenge.  We will have a cut off time for participants to start their HUNdo loop so no one gets in over their heads.

Again, this lollipop is NOT for a beginner or even a weekend warrior. It’s very challenging and doubles the amount of elevation gain found on the 2010 FUNdo route.  We expect this loop to add 1.5 hours to the front runners times.

Common Questions

“What kind of bike should I bring? Road or Cross?”
Either bike is great. We recommend slick tires, thorn resistant tubes and/or 25C tires to help prevent flat tires from happening on the dirt roads. You should have a seat pack to fix a flat if SRAM is unavailable for a wheel change.

“How hard is the ride? How long do you think it will take to finish?”
The Grand FUNdo route isn’t that difficult, but it’s definitely not flat. From miles 12-20 the course has some steep sections, but after that it’s mostly flat and rolls downhill the rest of the way back to Southampton. The dirt roads are maintained roads and are in great condition. Plan for four hours of ride time to complete the FUNdo loop with almost no traffic. The HUNdo will be considerably more difficult, and we expect five and a half hours for the fittest participants.

“Is there a vegetarian option for dinner?”
Yes! After you register, click “contact promoter” and let us know you would like a vegetarian dinner, there will be lots of food, Gatorade, beer etc. after the ride, not just a pig roast.

“I’m worried about getting lost!”
The route will be clearly marked with spray painted Grand FUNdo stencils on the pavement and coroplast signs with directional arrows at each intersection. We had some marking issues last year, so we’ve gone to great lengths in 2011 to make sure no rider goes off route. No riders will be left behind and there will be over twenty support riders scattered through out the bunch with knowledge of the course participating also. A truck will sweep the course at the end of the day for any riders unable to finish.
