Rider Quotes

"Where do I start, it was all wonderful. In particular, the scenery, logistics, volunteer support, and police support were outstanding."

"The whole ride was great, my husband and I are so sad that it's over! We cannot wait to do it again."

"...we had an OUTSTANDING time during the Bike Around the Bay ride last weekend. You, the GBF, your volunteers, your sponsors, the police and all other contributors made it one of the safest and most enjoyable rides we’ve ever attended. The thoroughness, friendliness, enthusiasm, and spirit that everyone exhibited was catching and you definitely achieved your objectives- we will be back to ride again (with friends) and we now know a lot more about the areas from Anahuac to Galveston that we plan to visit during the coming year. Thank you for a fantastic time and we only wish we could thank everyone personally who help make the weekend possible."
