The Rally is a perfect venue to share quality time with your family. Children under the age of 5 come for free and we offer special family rates for both camping and registration.

Bicycle Roadeo
Bicycle rodeo - Great Western Bike Rally The Bicycle Roadeo is a great way to introduce your children to bicycle skills and safety. This gives the Rally an opportunity to educate parents and children about the safety aspects of riding a bicycle on streets and roads. The goal is to empower young cyclists with a minimal set of skills for on-road riding. A miniature "chalk street" course set up in a parking lot where young cyclists are shown where and how to apply the rules. The main focus of a bike rodeo is Cycling Safety for young cyclists, age's kindergarten to 14 or so. The "Roadeo" is organized by the Barbara Heughins and her volunteers.

Family Ride: Star Farms Stopover: 25 miles
Many families ride out to Star Farms, a lake with a sandy beach complete with tiki huts. How about volleyball or croquet? Bring your lunch and swimming suit and make an outing of it. Many riders and families spend most of their day there. Of course the Rally offers many other rides, shorter and longer that are suitable for the family.
