The 16th Annual Real Ale Ride is once again rolling through the scenic hills of Blanco, TX again on Saturday, October 18, 2024.
Registration opens soon!
It’s a ride for all cyclists, with distances of 15, 30, 50, 60, and 75 miles to choose from. Routes are fully supported and they all end at Real Ale Brewing Company for a post-ride celebration with local beer, music, and food trucks. Find out about lodging in the Blanco area, here.
Real Ale’s number one priority for all rides is safety. All riders must wear an assigned number bib to prove his/her registration. We go to great efforts to provide as much help as possible along all the routes with paid First Aid responders, volunteer corner marshals, SAG drivers, and Rest Stop crews. Real Ale can only be responsible to those who are registered with their assigned bib number.
Real Ale Ride registration fee includes a fully supported ride route and includes award-winning beer from Real Ale (or soda), music and a lot of fun.
