The Grand Funduro is looking like it might live up to its name! Surly Bikes added a Pre-Party on Friday night and they’re sending along their Demo-Van (Steel Force One) stocked to the gills with their beach tuned fat-bike demo fleet, including the new sparkly pink ice cream truck. So we’ve added two more events to the existing event with about one month till we launch this rocketship. We also have a couple of contests going for folks that attend. Take a look below and see if you can figure out the Grand Funduro Puzzle. It’s bewildering…

Everyone that registers is invited to the Saturday rides and our elegant Cocktail Party with music in the Grand Ballroom with complimentary hors d’ oeuvres. You’ll have to buy your own drinks (cuz we’d go broke trying to satisfy your thirsts) but the hotel is going to have a full bar and we’re going to work with their beverage folks to make sure we have delicious craft beer on tap for the evening!
