Ride Details
We are excited to offer our new and improved 2012 version of Bike Around the Bay! Our main change this year is a change to the day one start and day two finish lines. We are excited to offer a full loop for the route this year that will feature a start and a finish at the same location- the Barbers Hill ISD complex in Mont Belvieu, TX, just off of I-10. The ride will now start on day one and head east from the Barbers Hill ISD complex on I-10 over the Trinity River Bridge, where it will wind through Anahuac and join back with our original route at Ft. Anahuac Park. Our new finish will continue past our old finish line at Royal Purple Raceway Park back to the Barbers Hill ISD complex. Therefore, we eliminate the need to put bicycles on trucks and people on busses to get them back to the start from the finish.
The route change will add approximately 25 miles to the route, making our 2012 distance approximately 170 miles. Our other significant change this year will be our overnight in Galveston. We are pleased to return to Moody Gardens this year for our overnight. We’ve got a new and improved finish and start at Moody Gardens along with a new covered overnight bicycle storage area. We’ve also kept our route along the Seawall for 2012 and even extended it so riders will ride along the Seawall all the way from 25th Street to 81st Street.
The routes are scenic and picturesque countryside of the Texas upper coast roadways.
Day One 94.1 miles
Day Two 78.4 miles
Total 2-days - 172.5 miles
2012 ROUTE (may be subject to minor revisions)
