About Making Miles Matter
Improving mental, physical, and emotional health through rides, hikes, adventures, and community impact.
Our Story
More Than a Bike Ride
“”
Making Miles Matter started with a simple idea: movement is medicine, and it's better shared. Founded in , we're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings people together through cycling events, weekly group rides, hikes, outdoor adventures, and community impact — improving health, building connection, and directing 100% of event proceeds to families in Hancock County.
Our flagship Hancock Horizontal Hundred has been part of the Midwest cycling calendar since 1974. After a five-year hiatus, we brought it back in 2025 with 200+ riders. In 2026, we're expanding with the Findlay Further Fondo, Wheels & Reels film nights, destination trips, and a year-round adventure program.
But Making Miles Matter isn't only about bikes. We're building a broader platform for health, connection, and impact — through hikes, nature experiences, education, and community infrastructure. Every mile, however you move, matters.
