The Cyclone Tour includes rides of 10, 28, 42, 55 & 75 miles. All on paved two-lane farm-to-market roads and country highways with wide shoulders. The routes have some flat runs, long stretches with gradual inclines, and some hills that could be challenging for less experienced or less fit riders. Check the route information by using the "Ride Day Routes" tab at the top of the page. Fully staffed Rest Stops are strategically placed with the riders’ comfort and safety in mind. There will be iced water, cold sports drinks, and a variety of snacks available to help “recharge your batteries,” plus the necessary "relief" facility.

“A Best Kept Secret!”

“Thanks for the TLC!”
“Fabulous!”
“Beautiful ride!”
“All the rest stops were GREAT!”
“This is my first formal ride – hills were “killer” on my “elderly “nature but they were actually gently, rolling hills. The people checking on us (SAG) were constant – made you feel very safe and cared for. The rest stops were outstanding - very friendly people!”
"One of the best. Country back-roads, no traffic, and very scenic."
"I just completed the Comanche Cyclone. Very good ride with some of the friendliest people around. I missed last year, but it will be a definite ride on future schedules. A big thanks to all the volunteers who made this ride so enjoyable. See you next June."
