5th Annual Cow Patty Classic Benefit Bike Ride
Don’t forget to purchase raffle tickets for this road bike generously donated by AJ’s Cyclery! Bike will be custom fit and ordered by AJ’s Cyclery.
Welcome to the official website for the 5th Annual Cow Patty Classic Benefit Bike Ride! 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, advisor 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. There is also an end of ride BBQ included for all registered cyclists. And of course, don't forget the complimentary ride t-shirt and goodie bag!
NOTE: THE START/FINISH LOCATION FOR THIS RIDE HAS CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS YEARS. The start/finish for this ride is located NEXT DOOR to Vista Ridge High School at Henry Middle School, 100 N. Vista Ridge Blvd. Cedar Park, TX.
We have another great shirt design (don’t worry, Cow Patty is back!), but t-shirts and goodie bags can only be guaranteed for those who register online by April 6th, 2012. After that date, they will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
We're also very excited that our platinum sponsor partner, AJ's Cyclery, has very generously donated a road bike for raffle again this year.* Raffle tickets will be sold for $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00. Be sure to get in on a chance to win this fabulous bike!
