From the organizers
The Barrow Volksride is the third Saturday in October in Salado, Texas. This ride supports the brave men and women of the Salado Volunteer Fire Department (SVFD). Register at [link coming soon].
Cyclists choose from 16 mile, 32 mile, or 100K routes in the scenic Central Texas hill country. Routes start and finish at Barrow Brewing Company and cover roads from Holland to Belton. The cycling routes are fully supported until 1:30 p.m. Riders not back at that time are directed to a short-cut. Our partners from the SVFD and the Sheriff's office will be located at some key intersections during the ride. Cyclists must wear their registration bib numbers and helmets at all times.
