Event Description
Enjoy a spring bike ride on beautiful country roads through picturesque Williamson County, sponsored by Rentsch Brewery, Georgetown SERTOMA Club, Sun City Cyclists, Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center, and the Georgetown Cyclopaths. With five well-supported routes of 12 miles (Family Circle), 29 miles, 40 miles, 62 miles and 100 miles (precise mileage to be announced), there's something for everyone. All routes pedal through moderately flat terrain interspersed with rolling hills on the eastern side of Williamson County.

SERTOMA's primary service project is assisting the people of Williamson County with speech, hearing, and language disorders.
The Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center exists to provide a child-friendly, safe place to disclose child abuse, reduce the emotional trauma for children and non-offending family members, and extend professional services that protect the integrity of an investigation.
Sun City Cyclists' mission is to share the joy of bicycle riding on the streets and roads of our community, city, county, and state, and to meet and join other cyclists for fellowship and social activities.
