Road construction on FM149 from Anderson towards Richards has completed with a fantastic layer of fresh pavement.  Ride the 68 or 89 or 103 mile routes to enjoy the smooth ride.  

Gran Fondo Texas routes take riders from Montgomery High School through the scenic Sam Houston National Forest to the town of Richards. From Richards you'll ride past picturesque pastures with bluebonnets and grazing cattle on your way to the historic town of Anderson. The route to and from Anderson will have just enough elevation to help you get ready for endurance rides like the Texas MS 150. 

Our routes traverse roads shared with local vehicle traffic.  Please ride safely and courteously.  Major intersections will be managed by police officers.  Follow instructions from local police and event volunteers.
