Bonham, Texas -- Mark your calendars for the 2024 Autumn in Bonham bike rally on October 5! Thanks to the efforts of original event organizers, the Bike Rally committee, the Fannin county Amateur Radio Club, local county police chiefs and sponsors, the Chamber successfully brought back the ride after a 3-year hiatus, welcoming 200 riders in 2023.
Autumn in Bonham holds the distinction of being a Century Mile ride and features 4 paved routes, and 3 gravel routes, and the return of a 13-mile “family” route all within Fannin County. Participants of past rides will recognize familiar landmarks along the 24-, 40-, 65- & 100-mile paved routes and enjoy riding by Bois d’Arc Lake, a new county attraction. Riders that prefer gravel now have 3 routes to choose: a 25-mile, 45 mile and a 70-mile option.
Residents and visitors will also be able to enjoy a full day of festival activities around the Fannin County Courthouse Square which will be full of vendors, games for kids of all ages, entertainment & live music on the stage beginning at 8:30 a.m. and running until 4:00 p.m.
Rest Stop sponsors will be asked to decorate their assigned stops with a theme this year to make the event a bit more fun for the riders, some who travel hundreds of miles to participate in one of Texas’s oldest bike rides,
established in 1982.
