Sully District Bike Rodeo is July 26, 2023
The annual Sully District Bike Rodeo will be held Wednesday, July 26th from 5pm to 8pm, in the parking lot at Chantilly National Golf & Country Club (14901 Braddock Rd, Centreville). Choose one of the 4 Arrival Times to register.
The Bike Rodeo is a free event. Your Cub Scouts (and siblings and friends) will learn basic bike safety, each bike will be inspected and adjusted (safe to ride, seat height & brake adjustment, etc.), and each rider helmet will be inspected (correct size, adjusted and worn properly). Helmets are required by law, so please arrive prepared to ensure your child can participate. After the inspection, participants will ride through some fun biking skills and obstacle courses.
Signup as a Family and yes, bike-ready siblings and friends are welcome! This fun event counts as a Summertime Activity.
For “Youth Participants”, choose the total number you are registering (Scouts + Siblings + Friends). Provide the name and e-mail of the adult who is completing the registration.
