With the club's permission, I am forwarding to you the announcement of the fifth year of the Fistbump Fundraiser, a local charity bicycle ride that raises money for those battling cancer.

Please consider riding for this great cause. Last year, the weather and the event were excellent.


------------ 2025 FISTBUMP FUNDRAISER BICYCLE RIDE ANNOUNCEMENT ------------------

Greetings to you, bike riders and volunteers, who want to make a difference for those battling cancer! Our Syracuse chapter of the Exon 20 Group, operating under the umbrella of the International Cancer Advocacy Network (ICAN), invites you to participate in our 5th Annual Fistbump Fundraiser bike ride at 2 p.m. on Thursday, August 21, 2025

Please r.s.v.p. to the following email if you intend to participate, either as a rider or a volunteer: Robert Hanlon - robertthanlon@PROTECTED

Details
  • Riders & volunteers will be added to the fundraising website participant list.
    Website: Fistbump Fundraiser

  • Please encourage others to join you, as either a rider or a volunteer, and to have them let Robert know. We'd love to grow!

  • Please remind them that this is a fundraising bike ride and participants will be encouraged to seek sponsorship in the form of donations from family, friends, and the companies they work for.

  • We will ride from the Summit Church, formerly Oran Community Church (8560 Cazenovia Road, Manlius, NY 13104)

  • We will depart as a group at 2 p.m. on August 21

  • Route options: same as last year - - - 10, 17, and 30 miles. (No hills with 10 & 17, one long/steep hill just south of Delphi Falls with the 30. Hoping we'll have a bagpiper stationed there for inspiration!)

    (see below for RideWithGPS routes)

  • The after party (5:30 p.m.) for all participants and donors will be at Meier's Creek Brewing Company and sponsored by ComSource, Inc. (Thank you ComSource!!!)

  • Riders: all forms of bicycles, including e-bikes, and approaches, including tag-teaming, are welcome! We encourage all who can ride to participate however you wish. No rules here other than safety & fun for a great cause.

  • Note: The more challenging 60 mile route to Pitcher and back is no longer part of this official ride and will not be supported; however, given the fact that this would have upset Kevin greatly, those wishing to unofficially do the 60 mile option may certainly do so, with a recommended departure time of around noon. Let me know if this is you and I'll connect all who want to do this.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact either Robert Hanlon (robertthanlon@PROTECTED). A follow-up email will go out in August.
