About the Ride:
Join us for the 16th Tour du Rouge from Bayou City to Crescent City, May 5-10, 2024. Last year’s ride was a huge success and we’ve made changes to improve it. But don’t take our word, read some of the comments from our Facebook page or watch this video, “My Tour Friends” from one of our prior Tours. We travel with and visit Arc clients during the Tour. Ed, on the left, the video’s star, and a client, traveled with us throughout the Tour.
This is a 540-mile, six-day ride along the Gulf Coast. Each night you will enjoy good food and entertainment with your fellow riders. Most importantly you’ll be helping The Arc provide needed services to those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
