From their website: "The 21st Annual Fort Bend Education Expedition will take place on April 6, 2024. Our ride promises to provide a quality ride whether you are training or just wanting a great day with friends.
Our routes are designed to minimize busy intersections while providing a smooth and scenic ride. Riders have the option of three routes ranging from 33 to 83 miles long. Rest Stops are themed and staffed by students and teachers from our Fort Bend ISD high schools vying for the "Best Rest Stop" award. You will be entertained along the ride! Enjoy a Grab and Go lunch after the ride. SAG wagons and motorcycle support will be on the course to assist with any needs. This is one ride you won't want to miss."
PREPARATION: Make sure to prepare yourself during the week so Friday evening you can relax and sleep easy knowing you are ready for the training ride. Preparing yourself and your equipment will minimize the need for assistance during the ride. Bike - ABC Check

If you are joining a pace line announce yourself to the person in front. If you don’t know the person in front don’t ride close to their wheel, maintain a safe distance. Always be vigilant of the pace of the person in front of you and also your surroundings!
