The bike tour offers three increasingly ambitious routes. Theres a 20-mile route for those merely looking for a breezy, relaxing ride. Theres a 40-mile route for the more resolute cycling enthusiasts. And then theres a 70-mile route for everyone whos in hardcore training for BP MS 150. All three will take riders through scenic neighborhoods in Houston, including the Heights, West University and the TC Jester area. (Mayor White and Senator Ellis are going to be among the riders, but theres no word yet on which route theyll take.) Stick around once you finish your ride theres an after-party at Discovery Green with free food and live entertainment.
