This BPMS150 Recommended Ride begins at the Waller County Fairgrounds (22000 Fairground Road in Hempstead) and cruises past the rice fields and prairie between Bellville and Katy.

More than 1,000 riders are expected to participate in the ride, which benefits the Eagle Initiative and Faith West Academy’s athletic department.
