2009 Bike Around the Bay A Success
Despite our setback in 2008 with Hurricane Ike, we were back this year, better than ever. We had 476 riders and over 350 volunteers that came out to support the Bike Around the Bay! Thank you to all our sponsors, riders, volunteers, and staff! Please click here for photos and videos from this year's ride.
2008 Clean Up Around the Bay
In 2008, Bike Around the Bay was canceled because of the conditions resulting from hurricane Ike. In lieu of the bike ride, riders and volunteers joined efforts for the Clean Up Around the Bay Ike recovery event.
More than 350 dedicated and hard-working volunteers helped clear hurricane debris at Galveston Island State Park, Virginia Point Peninsula Preserve, and the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge on October 18 and 19, and November 8 and 22, 2008. GBF wishes to extend a sincere thank you to the riders and volunteers who participated in the Clean Up Around the Bay! GBF also wants to thank CenterPoint Energy and KBR for sponsoring the event!
Thank you very much for helping restore Galveston Bay!
