Meet or exceed your $300 fundraising minimum, and not only will you enjoy a first-class cycling experience, a yummy lunch from Greenhouse Craft Food, a beer from Texas Beer Company, live music by Gabor Nicholson Band, you will also get a Mamma Jamma T-shirt and dry bag along with cool swag from our partners and sponsors.

Teams get perks, too! Teams that raise $10,000 or more through the collective individual fundraising efforts of team members, will get a designated Team Tent at Heritage Square.
