    • 69-Mile: The 69-mile ride is for those who are seasoned veterans on two wheels. This ride will take you on a tour through the entire Coastal Bend area. From downtown Corpus Christi, over the New Harbor Bridge, and through Portland, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas and all the way back around to downtown Corpus Christi, it is safe to say this route is not for the faint of heart.

      21-Mile: The 21-mile ride is for those looking to push themselves a little. This ride will take you the entire length of Ocean Drive past the Island University of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and near the gates of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. It’s perfect for intermediate level riders using comfort bikes, hybrids or mountain bikes.

      10-Mile: The 10-mile ride is a leisurely ride down Ocean Drive. Beautiful homes on one side and the scenic views of the bay on the other side.
