NCBC Fall Rally & Picnic Lunch!

The Fall Rally is different from the rallies we have earlier in the year. We do not operate rest stops at this event, in order to give our crew of frequent volunteers a chance to participate. This rally is more relaxed and social, with a picnic lunch featuring Rudino's Pizza and Subs starting at Noon.

We will still have plenty of drinks and snacks to load up on at the start of the ride. The cue sheets and maps will have stores with restrooms clearly marked. People have enjoyed this style of rally for the last two years, and it has worked well. We hope you can join us for this year's!

We need help for this event! Gayle Lundeen is this year's director, and we still need people to help register riders in the morning, and one or two people to be on hand for sag service. If you can help, even for a while please notify us at fallrally@ncbikeclub.org. Gracious thanks for helping support NCBC!
