PoCo Cycling

Annual gran fondo fundraiser

The Country Miler 2026

PoCo Cycling’s signature gran fondo on Polk County country roads — a supported road ride, not a Frisco Highline / rail-trail event. Two distances, full support, tacos at the finish — and proceeds that matter.

Start line

First Baptist Church, Bolivar — roll out together, then choose your distance. Expect quiet country roads around Polk County, club volunteers, and that special gran fondo mix of challenge and camaraderie.

Routes

  • 60-mile — the full Country Miler experience for endurance riders
  • 23-mile — a welcoming shorter option for newer riders and mixed groups

Detailed cue sheets and GPX will be published closer to event day. Three SAG stops keep bottles full and spirits high.

Why we ride

Proceeds support Alpha House Pregnancy Resource Center. Every registration and sponsorship helps neighbors in our community. Riding for a cause is core to PoCo’s identity.

What to expect

  • Marked / supported courses (details TBA)
  • Three SAG stops with water & snacks
  • Finish-line tacos
  • A warm club welcome — not a race-only vibe
