Bonham, TX, ONLY 70 Miles NE of Dallas

Bring your whole family and join your cycling friends for a Bike Rally with a variety of routes to choose from.  Come early and stay late for entertainment and fun-filled activities the entire family can enjoy.  You will ride through delightful scenery with light motor traffic and NO freeway service roads. The 28, 44, and 54 mile routes start with several moderately rolling hills. The 54 mile route includes the infamous Leonard Hills - a series of challenging roller coaster hills with beautiful views at the crests. The 28-64 mile routes are not recommended for children 11 and under.

The Family Fun Road Ride is an easier 14 mile ride with a rest stop at the 5th mile. This ride is mostly flat terrain. Children 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult. 
 

It's the 23rd Annual Road Bike Rally!  Back by popular demand, we Welcome TX Tough in joining the Autumn in Bonham Bike Rally & Expo!
