Tandem cycling enthusiasts, mark your calendars and grab your captain or stoker—it’s time for the 2025 Northwest Tandem Rally (NWTR), happing this year in Spokane Valley July 4-6. This year’s NWTR, hosted by Valleyfest and Spokane Valley Cycle Celebration, promises a full weekend of scenic rides and tandem bike community. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or new to the scene, you won’t want to miss this gathering of tandem riders from across the region.

The festivities revolve around the weekend’s rides, which range from short, leisurely loops to longer, challenging routes through Spokane Valley’s rolling hills and scenic backroads. All rides include options for varying abilities and are supported. Rides will start early (7:30 a.m.) due to the potential for hot weather. Full details on rides will be posted by June 1 at Cyclecelebration.com/nwtr. Register early to lock in custom-designed jerseys from Primal Wear. The 2025 NWTR is more than just a ride; it’s a chance to connect with the tandem bike community and forge friendships and connections across the Northwest and beyond.
