About the Ride: Now is the time to sign-up for the 9th Annual Conquer the Coast™ bike ride and experience one of the Best Coastal Trails in the United States as revealed by Coastal Living Magazine, June 2011.  Conquer the Coast™ has become the ride of choice for avid cyclists and novice riders.

Bikes, Bridges & Beaches provide the backdrop for an amazing ride with three levels being offered: a 10 mile cruise, a 25 mile ride, and the 65 miler. Cyclists can experience the beauty of the Coastal Bend and the thrill and adrenaline rush of conquering the coast beginning with the Harbor Bridge-138 feet high- overlooking the Port of Corpus Christi, to Portland, through Ingleside, Aransas Pass and on to Port Aransas, where riders may have a chance encounter with a dolphin or two on the Port Aransas Ferry. The ride continues through Upper Padre Island and then comes the breathtaking view of Ocean Drive and Corpus Christi Bay near the finish.

Why we ride – We love cycling. It’s who we are and it promotes a green, healthy lifestyle. Best of all, it supports the Corpus Christi Chamber Foundation and it’s mission to continue to bring world-class events like Conquer the Coast to Corpus Christi. It also supports local programs such as Leadership Corpus Christi, CC under 40, and the Texas A&M University-CC Islander Athletic Fund.
