Pedaling the Prairie is a non-competitive bike ride held annually around the
rice fields and prairie between Bellville and Katy, Texas.  All proceeds benefit
the athletic department of Faith West Academy.

This year’s ride is on Saturday, February 12, 2011. We will start from the Waller County Fairgrounds, 22000 Fairground Road, Hempstead, Texas 77445 (290 and FM 359).

THE START TIME HAS CHANGED TO 9:00 A.M., BUT COME ENJOY BREAKFAST TACOS WITH US FROM 8:00 - 9:00 A.M. AS WE GIVE THE WEATHER TIME TO WARM. 

Ride in comfort knowing that there will be breakpoints every 10 – 15 miles.  
Refreshments will be provided at all breakpoints to keep you hydrated and
energized.  Your safety and well-being is our major concern, as we will have
well planned routes, police escorts through major intersections, and
mechanical and medical support at the rest stops.  SAG vehicles and Ride
Marshall support will also be included.

The ride travels along several courses ranging from a 24-mile beginner ride to
over a 71-mile endurance ride. The various routes take you around the
Monaville, Pattison, and Bellville areas. You can expect to experience the
prairie, rolling meadows, rural flatlands, and some hills close to Bellville.
