Fannin County, Texas -- The 29th annual Autumn in Bonham Bike Rally will be held in Bonham, Texas on Saturday, September 29, 2018 at 8:30 a.m.  Due to the state of construction at the Fannin County Courthouse, the ride route will begin and end at the new high school at 1002 Warpath.

 

The Chamber is anticipating approximately 400 riders, and they will be passing through some of our neighborhood roads at Russell Avenue.

 

Gravel routes are a new addition to this year’s event; riders enjoy new challenges and see more hidden gems of our county. The Chamber hopes all drivers will remember on September 29 that they will be sharing the road with our cyclists from our highways to gravel county roads, from Bonham, to Roxton, to Ladonia, and all over the county. We all appreciate your attention to safety!

 

Think Autumn in Bonham is only for hard core riders? Good news! We have a route for everyone. The easiest route takes you to the Bonham State Park and back. The rally offers a total of 8 asphalt routes, of increasing mileage and difficulty, topping out at the 100-mile century ride. You can find registration and route information at www.bikereg.com/29th-annual-autumn-in-bonham or contact the Chamber at 903-583-4811.

 

 

We also love our volunteers! Thank you to all the locations and organizations that give our rest stops their fabulous reputation amongst the riders. If you are interested in helping out at the event, (corner marshalls always welcome!) just let us know. All goodie bag items must be dropped off at the Chamber office by September 12.

The fun doesn’t stop at the finish line. The Creative Arts Center will have their “Bicycle Parts” sculptures displayed, there will be food and activities from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Hang out and cheer in the riders as they pedal on through!
