Come have a "sweet" time with us at Bike Barn's annual Candy Ride as we roll through the beautiful back roads of Fulshear on March 12th. Starting from our favorite candy store,
Sweet Tooth Shoppe, there will be multiple ride options from 10 to 60 miles with one rest stop. Sweet Tooth will have plenty of goodies on hand so bring a friend or come and make new friends. This is not an official BP MS 150 ride, support is limited and good attitudes are must.
Ride Start at 8:00 - Remember the time change!
There is no cost, but please let us know you are coming, we want to have enough candy.

Our mechanical teams will be at all of the rides ready to help, we hope to see you there.
