Bike Around the Bay sponsored by : October 13-14, 2012

Bike Around the Bay is a fully supported two-day bicycle ride around Galveston Bay showcasing the natural beauty of Galveston Bay and benefiting the Galveston Bay Foundation. We have added mileage so the ride will be 170 miles this year and will truly be Bike AROUND the Bay! The ride will start at Barbers Hill ISD in Mont Belvieu, Texas and will continue 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 at Barbers Hill ISD in Mont Belvieu, Texas.

Rider Quotes

"Where do I start, it was all wonderful. In particular, the scenery, logistics, volunteer support, and police support were outstanding."

"The whole ride was great, my husband and I are so sad that it's over! We cannot wait to do it again."

"...we had an OUTSTANDING time during the Bike Around the Bay ride last weekend. You, the GBF, your volunteers, your sponsors, the police and all other contributors made it one of the safest and most enjoyable rides we’ve ever attended. The thoroughness, friendliness, enthusiasm, and spirit that everyone exhibited was catching and you definitely achieved your objectives- we will be back to ride again (with friends) and we now know a lot more about the areas from Anahuac to Galveston that we plan to visit during the coming year. Thank you for a fantastic time and we only wish we could thank everyone personally who help make the weekend possible."
