Houston Cy-Fair Lion’s Club Nineth Annual Biking for Sight Century Bike Ride
This will be the 7th consecutive year that Troop 483 has volunteered with our local Lion’s Club in their annual Biking For Sight Century Bike Ride. We provide scouts and parents to be there for the set-up and registering riders before the start, man a rest stop with refreshments and words of encouragement, and assist with the clean up. Every year many of the scouts come away energized and eager to participate for the next year. Truthfully, so do some of the adults. Maybe next year we’ll have a team.
The riders cycle through some of the most beautiful Texas landscape in Montgomery and Grimes Counties. The 24 mile route takes them past an exotic animal farm, while the 40, 62, and 100 mile routes take them through the Sam Houston National Forest. The 62 and 100 mile routes have hills, perfect training for the Bike to the Beach bike ride.
We urge you to see if there is a Biking for Sight in your area so that your scouts can volunteer for a fantastic cause. There’s always the added bonus of service hours.
