On October 18th, riders from across New England gathered at Veterans Memorial Recreation Area in Franklin, NH for our third annual Giveduro, a community mountain bike enduro event powered by good people, cold air, fall dirt, and an even better cause.
The format is simple:
Three hours.
Ride up. Choose your trail down. Do as many laps as you want.
No pressure. No podium obsession. Just ride, cheer, eat, laugh, repeat.
It’s less about racing and more about building something real together.
What We Raised
This year, thanks to riders, donors, volunteers, and supporters, we raised over $10,000 (with a few final donations still arriving).
The Day Felt Different
There was a buzz in the air, not just from Octoberfest happening at the base area (though food, beer, and music never hurt). It was the energy from the people, riders showing up not for themselves, but for the kids who will get bikes because they rode today.
People rode hard.
People hung out.
People supported each other.
And the community showed up in a real way.
Why Giveduro Matters
For many of us, bikes shaped our lives: gave us friends, identity, confidence, freedom.
We want to make sure every kid gets the same shot.
Your support helps us:
-
Put bikes directly into the hands of kids who need them
To the Crew
To everyone who rode, donated, volunteered, hauled gear, taped a course, yelled encouragement, or simply showed up:
Thank you.
Seriously. You’re the heartbeat of this thing.
It’s time to get back to work; the good kind.
One lap at a time. One kid at a time. One community at a time.
See you at the next one.
