Start The Season at the Inaugural Portage Bike Rally The Bike Rally will be fun for the whole family or the individual bicyclist. Participants will have the choice of a family/novice route of 3.75 miles or an advanced route of 6.75 miles and will "log in" at various checkpoints along the route. In addition to a pleasant bicycle tour along the Portage Creek Bicentennial Park trails, the rally will include bicycle safety information, bicycle safety checks, snacks, face painting and prizes.
