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. This is a benefit ride, where all proceeds go to support the youth of the Vista Ridge FFA through scholarship, sponsor support, student development and community involvement.

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.

We hope you will enjoy these special interests while you bike through our rural countryside.

Event Beneficiary

Event Background
At 17 Kyle Bryant was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia, a rare, life shortening disease that affects muscle control and coordination. As a young athlete this meant losing many of the activities he enjoyed but the one activity he would not give up was cycling. In 2007, riding his recumbent tricycle, Kyle created Ride Ataxia with a 60-day, 2,500 mile bicycle ride from San Diego, CA to Memphis, TN

Event History
The goal of this ride was to educate the public, enable research through funding, and empower others through inspiration and motivation. Over 3,500 miles and $960,000 in research funds later, the spirit of Ride Ataxia is stronger than ever and is now the marquis fundraising event for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance. Today Ride Ataxia offers both challenging and family-friendly rides all across the country.
