2011 Bike Around the Bay

Registration is now open. Register now! Or, donate now to the ride or a specific rider!
Bike Around the Bay is a fully supported two-day, 150-mile bicycle ride around Galveston Bay showcasing the natural beauty of Galveston Bay and benefiting the Galveston Bay Foundation. The ride starts in Anahuac, Texas at Fort Anahuac Park and continues along a scenic route that includes many fascinating sights and highlights. Riders will spend the night in Galveston where they will enjoy an informal dinner with other cyclists and friends and family. Day 2 will bring the riders north along the west side of Galveston Bay where they will ultimately finish outside of Baytown, Texas.
New to 2011, Bike Around the Bay is now a pledge ride to help raise money for the Galveston Bay Foundation and their mission to preserve, protect, and enhance Galveston Bay.
