The annual bike ride will include a 7.8-mile, 28.8-mile and 53.3-mile route beginning and ending in historic downtown Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas. The view from the riders’ bicycle seats will include historic landmarks, scenic residential areas and the beautiful rolling hills and towering pines of the East Texas countryside.
“The Tour de Nac will be a fantastic, family-oriented event offering something for everyone from the serious cyclist to the casual rider,” said Anderson Dolton, meeting and event coordinator for the Nacogdoches Convention & Visitors Bureau.
The bike ride is set to start at 8 a.m. Saturday, November 14, in downtown Nacogdoches. Designated stops along both routes will provide riders with needed rest and refreshments. Sponsors of the event this year are The Bike Shop and Dr. Larry Walker.
Fees are $25 for early registration and $30 for regular registration. Only early registrants are guaranteed to receive a Tour de Nac T-shirt. Checks should be made payable to the Nine Flags Festival.
Forms can be picked up at the Visitors’ Center, 200 E. Main St., or downloaded at www.nineflagsfestival.com. You may also call 888-OLDEST-TOWN to request a form be mailed to you. Race-day registration will be from 6:30 to 7:45 a.m. at the Visitors’ Center.
