It was a great day to ride a bike!

The 12th Annual Space Race on Sunday, April 11th was both fun and challenging leaving cyclists with a taste for more...

Many would say there is nothing better than riding a bike throughout the countryside on a beautiful day and that is exactly what every rider got.

This years Space Race offered cyclists all new adventures including a new open start method which allowed cyclists to start at their leisure within the two hour start window of  7am-9am. Based on a riders skill level and ride distance, the riders can get an early start or wait and start later.  Riders also had the opportunity to be part of the VIP club which included Special VIP numbers, Exclusive Free Masseuse and ViP Food Station to name a few things, all for an additional donation of $150.

Additionally, riders had continuous access to excellent mechanical support, great rest stops with plenty of food and drinks, and of course lovely scenery and routes.

As registered participants of the Space Race, cyclists received a *FREE Commemorative Space Race T-Shirt, a *FREE Ticket to Space Center Houston, and a new this year, a *FREE backpack courtesy of our newest sponsor, Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation.

The 12th annual Space Race benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Greater Houston/ Galveston, Inc. left nothing but great memories. Cyclists had the choice  of riding routes ranging from 20, 40, 62, 78, and 101 miles. Furthermore, cyclists will be able to get to the end and enjoy complimentary food and drinks.  It's was our way of saying good job and thank you!
