Anahuac, TX

I had never been to Anahuac, TX before.

But early Saturday morning, I headed out there for the start of the Bike Around the Bay cycling event. It was lots of fun. The volunteers were great throughout the entire course. We started at Fort Anahuac, which is "the site of the first armed confrontation between Anglo-Texans and Mexican troops, on June 10-12, 1832." (Handbook of Texas Online) It was a nice starting point for the 840 riders setting out to bike around the bay.

I did not get to do the second day's ride, but the finish.....

That I'd like to see.

Bike Around the Bay

I've never been to Bike Around the Bay.

I had been thinking of doing this long distance cycling event ever since I heard about it. But knowing that I could only do one day of it, I decided against it. I found out earlier this week that a friend of mine who had already registered had decided to drop the second day and only ride the first day of the event. So I decided to take another look at the event. I found out today that they are accepting riders on the day of the event. So I sent an email asking if there would be a prorated price for one day riders. He told me that he would give me the original early registration fee. So...I am in! Tomorrow I am going to do the first day of the Bike Around the Bay Tour-77.8 miles!

That I'd like to see.
