Ride Distance: Two-Day Route – 175+ miles. Day 1: 97 miles (century loop option). Day 2: 85 miles (one day options available!)

DAY 2 ROUTE CHANGE: Due to safety issues to construction on Business 146 and 99 after the Fred Hartman Bridge, TXDOT has asked them to find an alternate route from Sylvan Beach to our finish at Plantgistix. Their new route will take them under Hwy 146/Fred Hartman Bridge and then we will head towards the San Jacinto Monument. A new breakpoint will be added at Juan Seguin Park (across from the Monument Inn) and then they’ll take the Lynchburg Ferry across the Houston Ship Channel. When you exit the ferry, you’ll have another 13.5 miles before you reach the finish at Plantgistix. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE NEW ROUTE MAP.

Fundraising Requirement: $175 for One-Day Cyclists, $250 for Two-Day Cyclists. All funds raised from your ride will support the work of the Galveston Bay Foundation, a local environmental non-profit (all rider donations are tax deductible)

COVID-19: They will continue to monitor the situation. If they do have to cancel Bike Around the Bay 2021 due to COVID-19, they will offer refunds for all registration fees. However, any donations made towards your ride will be non-refundable. Please stay safe and healthy!
