"The annual bike ride is a Houston tradition. Thanks to continued support from the Apache Corporation we are able to bring it back after a two-year break, due to the pandemic,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “Riders will enjoy the city’s premier biking event, traveling through some of the city’s great neighborhoods while supporting the growth and sustainability of our green spaces."
A post-ride party for the cyclists is tentatively scheduled for 10:30 a.m. back at City Hall.
Check-in and registration starts at 6:30 a.m. On-site registration for the event costs $50.
