Polk County Spirit Ride

Catch the Spirit of the Ride

Ride through Historic Downtown Livingston on your way to completing 25- 35- 44- or 67-mile routes that will take you through the rolling hills around Lake Livingston.

Polk County wants bicyclists from everywhere to come enjoy the forested hills and valleys of Polk County. This is Livingston's annual "SPIRIT RIDE", a chance to not only enjoy the gorgeous scenery of East Texas, but to also enjoy the riches of a small East Texas community and the home of beautiful Lake Livingston.

Although Livingston is only 75 miles north of Houston, the terrain, air quality, and general tranquility of the area will make you feel like you are in a whole new world. Surrounded by lakes and forests and streams, Polk County prides itself as being a quiet, small-town environment where folks just enjoy the simpler pleasures of life.

Join Us Every Year on the 3rd Saturday in November

Routes: We offer four ride routes for all levels of riders, including a “Metric Century” 74 mile course.  The routes will take participants through the rolling hills south and west of Livingston Texas via 4 courses of increasing length, all of which will take riders northward along the eastern shore of Lake Livingston, and then back to the finish at the High School where the rides began.

Support:

• There will be Police escorts through major intersections, medical support, SAG vehicles, Ride Marshall support and Rest stops every 9–16 miles, on all routes.

• Refreshments will be provided at all Rest Stops to keep you hydrated and energized. This will include fruit and drinks along with plenty of port-a-potties. So whether you need to take a break, need help with a flat or just need a lift, we will be there for you.

• Lunch is provided for all participants on their return to the High school parking lot. 

T-shirts are guaranteed to at least the first 100 Riders registered. On-site registration will be $45.
