Sloppy Jon's begins and ends at the Woody Lowden Recreation Center in Foster, Rhode Island, typically held in late summer. Descriptions from the organizers indicate a community bike ride featuring a mix of gravel and pavement surfaces, though one event listing refers to it as a half marathon.
The ride is associated with NBX Bikes and is listed on the It's Just A Hill Strava page for RSVPs and route sharing. The event's own description states it is not a race and lacks a podium, emphasizing the appeal of the route, the varied surfaces, and the camaraderie among participants.
