Bike Club(s) Rally!
Let’s RALLY! (for more kids on bikes!)
Join us for the ultimate Bike Clubs Rally—a giant community gathering brought to you by El Grupo, Wheel Fun, and Project Bike Club! This event is designed to bridge the gap between school-based bike clubs and the wider cycling community. Whether you're a student rider, a family member, or a local cycling enthusiast, come celebrate the joy of two wheels, meet riders from neighboring schools, and discover new opportunities to keep rolling together. Mark your calendar, invite your friends, and let's build a stronger, more connected youth cycling community—one pedal stroke at a time!
Fall Fondo
The Fall Fondo was adapted from the Italian version of a Gran Fondo. Gran Fondo is an Italian term that loosely translates to “Big Ride.” Gran Fondos are typically mass participation cycling events that have enjoyed popularity worldwide.
Food, drinks, entertainment and a raffle are always part of a Fondo and 2026’s event will be no exception.
In fact, we’ve added a mixed-terrain/MTB ride AND a Strider Bike Derby! Fun for the entire family!
After the ride, participants will enjoy a meal together at the El Grupo Clubhouse, share stories about their ride, and interact with our youth & their families while enjoying music, prizes and a raffle to raise additional funds for our programming.
el Tour de Tucson
el Grupo empowers youth through bicycles. Through our in- and afterschool programs, youth ages 5 - 18 years old develop both bike and life skills. The programs use bicycles as a vehicle, literally and figuratively, to teach self-trust, communication skills, and goal-setting through positive youth development. Because of El Grupo, youth not only learn how to navigate streets - they learn how to effectively navigate the world.
