Pedal Point Rally 2020

This year we will be merging the Midwest Recumbent Rally and the Bike for Boys & Girls Club ride into one fantastic new event – the Pedal Point Rally!  All proceeds from the ride and registration will go to support our local chapter of the Boys & Girls Club of Portage County, which provides a fun, safe and healthy place for hundreds of area kids to go after school every day, as well as during school and summer breaks.

The Pedal Point Rally will be a two day event featuring the rides you know and love, as well as a Friday social hour & dinner, Vendor Fair & Test Rides, Saturday afternoon fun & games, bounces houses, and Saturday night evening entertainment from the popular Spicy Tie Band, as well as a beer garden & local food trucks.

Pedal Point brings families, friends, co-workers, and neighbors together for a fun-filled bike ride through picturesque Portage County. There are five different ride lengths and start times to cater to riders of all ages and abilities. 

• All events will be held at the Hostel Shoppe in Stevens Point, Wisconsin!
