Rifle is the kind of place that allows a person to truly embrace the things that interest them without the fear of not fitting in. promises to attract many visitors to participate and experience one or more of the activities featured, a mountain bike race, a 5K run, an all-sports swap meet, a gun show, food trucks, arts and crafts, music and family entertainment.
