About this event

We'll just go ahead and say it... this is 'One Tough Ass Ride'! Join us for your choice of the beginner/family friendly 14 mile, 34 mile, 47, or the 62m/100k routes. Rolling hills across amazing countryside, and heavy gravel conspire to make this one tough donkey! The Big Donkey has just over 3,400' of elevation. These routes just don't let up and riders will be pushed hard all the way to the finish line, with an awesome start/finish line worthy of your gravel experience! Those cold brews at the finish line party will never taste so good, while you enjoy an included great lunch, music, and fun at the awesome Kenney Store!
Also special thanks to our friends at Houston Fish Bicycling Law, Dr Ueckert and Associates, Andrew Perez State Farm Agency, and Texas Dream Bikes!
