Fayette County officials, as well as those in the surrounding area, are gearing up for MS 150 slated for April 26-27. The ride, which has starts in both Houston and Austin, brings thousands of bike riders into La Grange for the overnight stay.
“The initial start for the Houston ride is in the Energy Corridor and, at 95 miles, is the longest stretch of the entire ride. It has the most riders starting but the ‘jump ahead’ starts in Royal and Bellville are becoming more popular,” said Gary Metcalf the co-founder and president of Cadence Sports, which organizes the event.
“We are expecting a total of just over 4,700 riders, with most of them coming out of Houston. The Austin portion has gotten smaller over the years, with again, the ‘jump ahead’ starts more popular.
