It truly breaks my heart to have to make this post.
After a lot of thought, reflection, and difficult conversations with myself, I need to share that Rally in the Valley will not be happening in 2026.
Last year’s rally was absolutely incredible — the turnout, the energy, and the love from the riding community showed just how much this event is wanted and needed. That makes this decision even harder.
Unfortunately, without the support of a full planning committee, I simply cannot put on another rally alone. Even putting together what we had last year was incredibly challenging, and doing it again without proper help isn’t sustainable.
Many of the bands, vendors, and contributors last year generously donated their time and services pro bono because it was our first year. I can’t reasonably expect that same level of support a second time around, and without a committed committee and proper backing, I can’t do this event justice.
I am truly sorry to everyone who was looking forward to Rally in the Valley in 2026. If anyone has already made accommodations, there is still plenty of time to cancel, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment this causes.
That said, this is still a beautiful area, and everyone is more than welcome to come ride, explore, and enjoy the valley — there just won’t be an official Rally in the Valley event this year.
Thank you to everyone who supported, attended, volunteered, and believed in this rally. Last year will always be something special, and I’m incredibly grateful for what we created together.
With appreciation and a heavy heart,
❤️
