It’s August so it must be time for the Annual Kiwanis Red River Bike Rally! The 10th Annual Red River Bike Rally will be held on August 15, 2015. Last year over 450 riders participated in the Red River Bike Rally and even more are expected this year. Routes are mostly on country roads with little traffic in the beautiful north Texas countryside.

Riders can choose from 6 different routes from the 8-mile family route to the 100-mile Century route. Each one offers a unique and challenging experience along with plenty of ride support and fully stocked rest stops every 10 to 12 miles. Mechanics and SAG support will be available on all routes. Safety will always be the top priority.

Affectionately dubbed by riders as "Hotter than Hotter 'N Hell," it's the ideal preparation for one of the largest rides in the nation. All routes start and finish at Tanglewood Resort and wind thru country roads west of Denison and Sherman. Routes are posted on the rally website www.kiwanisredriverrally.com.

Thanks to the hard work of the folks at Texoma Bicycle works and Texoma Cycling Club, riders can use www.RideWithGPS.com to prepare for the ride. Century Riders (100 miles) must complete 53 miles prior to 12:00 Noon. At High Noon all riders arriving at the Wall Street point will be re-directed to the 88 mile “bail-out” route.

In addition to the 8-mile family route, riders can chose from 26-miles. 45-miles, 62-mile gravel route, 80-miles or the100-miles routes.
Special room rates are available at Tanglewood resort and Conference Center featuring a high-carb breakfast buffet, family/spa discounts and more! The buffet opens at 6:30 am.
