Come have a "sweet" time with us at Bike Barn's annual Candy Ride as we roll through the beautiful back roads of Fulshear. Starting from our favorite candy store, Sweet Tooth Shoppe, there will be two ride options, a 35 and 65 mile route with one rest stop. Sweet Tooth will have several goodies on hand and it will be a great opportunity to make some new riding buddies along the way! This is not an official BP MS 150 ride, support is limited and good attitudes are a must. There is no cost, but please let us know you are coming, we want to have enough candy.
