EA2EVL Fondo, October 4
Sign Up Today for ECRT Trail Benefit
Join in on October 4th for the 5th annual EA2EVL Fondo, a 42-mile epic road ride from East Aurora to Ellicottville. The 42-mile route will venture down Route 240 through the fall foliage and rolling hills of Western New York and end with a celebration at the beautiful Holiday Valley. The best part: 100% of the proceeds benefit ECRT!
This event has SOLD OUT for four years and raised $192,000 to support the ECRT trail. The funds were used to remove rails and ties, improve drainage and resurface the first 1.3 miles of the trail starting at the Orchard Park Village Depot. In June of 2023 this beautiful section opened to the public, connecting to the 2 miles of natural surface trail open at Jewett Holmwood Road. EA2EVL 2024 funds will be used to expand and improve the trail further south.
If you are a biker, register today! YOU are the secret to the success of this major source of funds needed to build the rail trail – you can also help by fundraiser yourself! If you raise a minimum of $100 in donations, you get an event t-shirt and tickets for food and drinks at the finish line party. If you raise $500 or more, you also get an event jersey. The top fundraiser gets to wear the coveted yellow jersey. So sign up, ask your friends, family and coworkers to donate and enjoy a great fall ride! Don’t forget to register for the bus shuttle back if you and your bike need a lift back to East Aurora. (2:30 and 4:1 pm departures from Holiday Valley Resort.)
VOLUNTEER: They are looking for volunteers for the start line at 42 North Brewing Company in East Aurora, three water stops (Colden, Concord and West Valley), course pointers and traffic control on the route, and at the finish line party at Holiday Valley.
DONATE: If you can’t join the fun, you can still help by supporting one of the riders on the registration site.
