About the Rally

Making a difference in Hamilton since 2019

Who We Are

The Great American Bike Rally was brought to life by an unnamed cancer survivor — an extremely active cyclist who challenged a group of like-minded cycling enthusiasts to simply make a difference in a child's or challenged individual's life.

His hope was to combine dual passions of helping others and cycling into a fundraiser to support our base mission. This challenge led to the idea of conducting an "intercity" fundraising bike rally, showcasing the tremendous asset of the Great Miami Trail System connecting Hamilton and Fairfield.

The Dave L. Belew Trail

Almost 25 years ago, Dave Belew advocated for the extension of the Great Miami River Trail through Hamilton. Because of his tireless work, this section has been renamed in his honor.

Our Mission

Since 2023, our sole focus has been on the Boys and Girls Club of Hamilton. We believe one of the best ways to improve our local communities is to create life-changing experiences and opportunities for our youth.

The Boys and Girls Club continues their mission "to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."

Since our inception, we have partnered exclusively with Boys and Girls Club of Hamilton to support their ongoing facilities restorations, growing attendance, and program improvements for area youth.
