2024 Turkey Roll Bicycle Rally Event
New Denton Bronco High School • 3001 Bronco Way Denton, TX 76207 Organized by Denton Breakfast KiwanisAbout this event
Denton Breakfast Kiwanis (DBK) Club invites you to our 42nd Turkey Roll Bicycle Rally! We have five (5) routes, ranging from 8 miles to 62 miles, giving riders a picturesque fall day through northern Denton and southern Cooke counties. A brand-new addition this year is a partial gravel route, taking riders down the picturesque Greenbelt of Lake Ray Roberts State Park. There will be plenty of sag wagons and rest stops, including the Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers rest stop at Wishbone Pass, the Rudy’s BBQ stop for the 68-mile route, and our greatest-ever Celebration Station at the finish line.
Join us on November 23 and help the children of Denton County and our other Denton Breakfast Kiwanis programming!
We and the Kids of Denton appreciate your patronage of this event. If you want to learn more about what we (DBK) do, visit www.dentonbreakfastkiwanis.com
