Cutline: 2024 Bike Ride Committee – Chaired by Keith Burkart
Front Row: Imisioluw Adejuye, LaTricia Bailey, Jessica Boota; Back Row: Ronnie Williams, Asheley Griffin, Susan Denman-Brione, Stacy Bynes, Tonya Samuels, and Keith Burkart, ChairOn Saturday, April 6, 2024, the Fort Bend ISD Education Foundation will host its 21st annual Education Expedition Bike Ride, presented by Shottenkirk Kia Fort Bend. The cyclists dubbed the ride as “the flattest, friendliest ride in Texas; guaranteed NO hills or mountains but lovely scenic views with the smoothest roads in Texas!” The route is closely aligned to rides from the past two years, but includes minor improvements. Whether you are training, riding with your team, or just wanting a great day with friends, this is the ride for you.
Riders take off at 7:30 a.m. from Freedom Field in Iowa Colony to wind through the quiet streets and countryside of Brazoria County before looping back to the finish. Our riders requested to move off the busy streets, so the supported route is back by popular demand. Cyclists have the option of four routes: 32, 48, 66 or 83 miles.
Rest stops are themed and staffed by Fort Bend ISD high school students vying for the “Best Rest Stop” award. SAG wagon, motorcycle support, and bike shop mechanics will be on the course to assist you with any needs. After the ride, select from our hot lunch options, and do not forget to vote for your favorite Rest Stop!
This ride is an Additional Training Ride and all proceeds benefit the Fort Bend Education Foundation. The Fort Bend Education Foundation provides opportunities to enrich and enhance the quality of education for all Fort Bend ISD students through its Grants to Teachers and Schools programs. We touch EVERY school in Fort Bend ISD!
