the Lighthearted |

Every
try to beat someone up a hill for time? Have you ever raced in a time-trial? If
you have a competitive part in your personality or have yet to discover one,
these are great opportunities to compete for fun.
In the

age group and gender. Awards are given to the winners.

Family & Kid's
Activities |
| |
|
What
better way to spend time with your family than to spend it riding and
participating in our family activities at the Rally.
Besides
the Bicycle Roadeo and Kid's Activities, many families like to ride to Star
Farms for the day.
We make
special arrangements with Star Farms for participants to spend the day on the
lake, on the beach, on the sand, sipping smoothies while looking at the country
view with an Italian Piazza in the distance. Visiting Star Farms is a unique
experience for all particpants, but families find it to be a special
day. |

& Marie Schelling

Dennis and Marie of the Sacramento Bike Hikers and
Sacramento Wheelmen have been very dedicated and helpful volunteers for many
years. They particularly help when we most need it, and that is during the
intitial set up of the Rally. All day Thursday and part of Friday they set up,
help stuff goodie bags and hand out registration packets.
Thanks for making our job so much easier!
