About the Ride: Imagine miles of rolling hills and thickly wooded forests! The Pineywoods Purgatory – fall’s premier cycling event – offers four rides ranging from 25 to 102 miles that take you through Texas Forest Country’s best! Don’t let the first few miles fool you – the terrain is not without challenge! And to cap off your ride, the Lufkin Host Lions Club and its cadre of volunteers and partners offer unmatched hospitality to riders and their guests. It’s not just a ride; it’s a weekend experience you’ll want to make an annual event! Lots of folks already do!
Who Coordinates the Ride and Who Benefits?
The Lufkin Host Lions Club exists to give back to the community! Through the years we’ve given more than one million dollars to area non-profits to help them extend their reach to the areas underserved. This year we have partnered with the Beth and Horace Stubblefield Learning Center as the recipient of the net proceeds from the Pineywoods Purgatory.
Location: Pitser Garrison Civic Center – 601 N. Second Street Lufkin, TX
