NEW THIS YEAR: HOOPLA & AFTER-PARTY
Riders get complimentary entry to our Hoopla Hula-Hooping after party. Stay tuned for more details!
Get ready, our third annual Kind Cyclothon benefiting the Common Roots Foundation is back, and this year we’re taking things up a gear! Hosted by Kind Cycling Studio, this one-day indoor spin fundraiser on Saturday, February 7th, 2026, invites riders to reserve time slots, hop on a bike, and raise money for the Common Roots Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Common Roots Brewing Company, through individual donations and pledges.
Cyclothon Riders can sign up for either a 2-hour or 4-hour time slot between 7:00am – 3:45pm, and will individually raise money towards the cause. In addition to some feel-good cycling with purpose, all riders will leave with a special swag bag for participating. Also, prizes will be awarded to our top three grossing participants. Special thanks to our 2026 sponsors for their generous prize donations!
New for 2026: We’re adding a Hoopla After-Party! This is a fun, weighted hula-hooping experience and after party at the Common Roots Bierhall! All Cyclothon participants will receive complimentary entrance, a free beer, and the after party is open to the public, so bring your friends and supporters to celebrate with you.
Join us for:
• A day of purpose driven indoor cycling
• The chance to try out weighted hula-hooping
• Celebrating movement, generosity, and raising money for a great cause
Let’s make year three our biggest impact yet. Ride hard, hoop it out, and raise money for a great cause!
info for riders
As a riding participant, you’re responsible for spreading the word about your upcoming Cyclothon and encouraging friends, family, and local businesses to pledge. You’ll want to reach out to as many potential supporters as possible and provide information about where their donations are headed. Here are some helpful materials to get you started:
You should collect checks or cash from your supporters IN ADVANCE at the time the pledge is made. Riders can submit the Pledge Form and all pledge money when they arrive at the Cyclothon. We do ask that participants secure a minimum of $100 in pledges to cover our base costs.

How do the pledges work?
Supporters make a flat-rate dollar amount pledge in support of a rider. No need to keep track of mileage or time frame. The top 3 riders with the highest pledge totals win prizes!
I’m a rider. How should I collect my pledge money?
You should collect checks or cash from your supporters IN ADVANCE at the time the pledge is made. Checks can be made payable to Common Roots Foundation with Cyclothon in the memo. Cash is okay too. Be sure to keep track of all your pledges and collections on the provided Pledge Form.
What time should I get to the studio?
Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your ride time to check-in at the registration table. There, you can drop off your forms and pledge money, pick up your swag bag, and find your bike assignment.
Will there be refreshments served?
Kind Cycling studio will have Gatorade and some simple refueling snacks available for riders. Bring your own water bottle to refill at the drinking fountain.
What do I get for participating?
In addition to some feel-good cycling with purpose, all participants will receive a swag bag which includes a Kind Cycling free class pass, complimentary entrance and free beer token to the Cyclothon After-Party and Hoopla at Common Roots that evening.
