Don’t miss Keep Pearland Beautiful’s 23rd annual Tour De Lites Family Bicycle Ride and Hay Wagon Ride on Saturday December 10, 2016.  Tour De Lites has become a Pearland holiday tradition for folks who enjoy outdoor activities. Check-in begins at 5:30 p.m. and the ride begins promptly at 7 p.m..   Register now if you hope to reserve one of the limited seats on the hay wagon.

The one and a half hour evening recreational ride begins at the pavilion in Independence Park and goes through the Green Tee Terrace community to view the Christmas lights. The riders then return to Independence Park for hot chocolate and refreshments. There is a hayride available (you must pre-register for the hayride) for those who cannot ride a bicycle. All proceeds from Tour De Lites go toward hike and bike trails in Pearland.

The ride includes a contest for the best decorated bicycles and/or rider. Prizes will be awarded for first place in adult and youth categories and ribbons will be awarded for second place winners. Judging will begin promptly at 6 p.m.

The pre-registration fee is $15 for the first rider, with $5 for each additional immediate family member. On-site registration fee is $25 for the first rider, with $5 for each additional immediate family member. Your fee includes one t-shirt per family, a route map, and ride refreshments. Additional t-shirts are $10 each. No registrations will be accepted after 6:30 p.m on the day of the event.

There will be a bike raffle the night of the Tour De Lites event.  Raffle tickets will be sold for $1 each.  There will be two different bicycles auctioned off (a girl’s bike and a boy’s bike).
