Due to the support we provide, this is an excellent ride for beginners and experts alike and is a perfect training ride for the BP MS-150. Enjoy outstanding views of the Texas Hill country.

The Cow Patty Classic is a fully supported ride for cyclists at any stage of training with multiple rest stops (with snacks & sports drinks), clear directional signage, mobile bicycle mechanics and dedicated volunteers to assist you on ride day. We’ve also added an end of ride BBQ included for all registered cyclists. And of course, don’t forget the complimentary ride t-shirt and goodie bag!

The t-shirt will of course include our dear friend, Cow Patty, but this year she will be in a supporting role. Inspired by the huge success of the design for our Fall sister ride, the Half Calf, we’re happy to announce a redesign of the Cow Patty Classic art that we’re sure everyone will enjoy! T-shirts and goodie bags can only be guaranteed for those who register online by April 1st, 2011. After that date, they will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
