About the Ride: Mark your calendar for September 17-18, 2011 and set your destination for Greenville, Texas. We have planned a “Texas Music Weekend” for your whole family! Festivities begin Friday evening with a concert at the Lee Street Bar & Grill (just west of the Lee/Wesley St. intersection). Emerald City Band will be playing Friday night starting at 8pm. There’s more music all day Saturday as we Rally ‘Round Greenville with two entertainment stages. Saturday’s entertainment stages will have music continue on our main stage at Lee and Wesley until midnight on Saturday, with Applebees serving beer. On Sunday the Greenville Chamber of Commerce will present a Gospel and Bluegrass Festival (12:00 to 5:00) adjacent to the Johnston St Smokehouse (serving food during the day), strategically located in the middle of the Downtown Criterium
Don’t miss the Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Companies’ Cotton Patch Challenge Bicycle Race & Tour – it attracts more than 1,000 from across the region. As bicyclists assemble for the morning events they will be entertained by classical violinist Rigo Murrillo. Bicycle touring events on Saturday will offer 5 routes from 21 to 65 miles. USCF road races will have 12 categories on Saturday morning. The USCF road races will be followed Saturday afternoon by USCF 9 mile time trial. The bite-your-nails, edge-of-your-seat exciting Criterium Race will zoom over the Audie Murphy overpass, just south of downtown, on Sunday.
