Hello everyone,

So how about a bit of a challenge for all of us!?!  There is something called a Gran Fondo every year in Morristown.  What is a Gran Fondo?  Well it’s basically a giant bike ride at different distances, all the way up to 107 miles (if you are totally crazy), with a big party at the end of it.

This year I signed up for the 62 mile ride (I’m apparently only half crazy), but there are also distances of 18 miles and 42 miles with rest stops, etc.  So you pick the distance you are comfortable with and think you can achieve by September (that’s 9 months to train).

In addition to signing up for the race, I also created a CrowdRise page linked to the Fondo so that we can raise funds for the school.  Go ahead and check it out (you know you want to)  https://www.crowdrise.com/teammontgomeryacadem/fundraiser/montgomeryacademyane

So I’m putting it out there to everyone, including spouses/significant others of staff, parents, and friends of Montgomery Academy, sign up for the Fondo and join Team Montgomery Academy and ride with us, or donate to support this great cause on our team page!!!  (or you can do both!!!!!)

You can register for the race at http://granfondonj.com/  and donate through the Fondo https://www.crowdrise.com/GranFondoNJ2016  or directly through our page https://www.crowdrise.com/teammontgomeryacadem/fundraiser/montgomeryacademyane

Thanks for your support, and let me know if you register for the race!!!

Tony
