Route Distances: 5, 15, 32 or 62 Miles
About the Ride: Take the Ride of Your Life at the 2011 Dallas/Fort Worth Tour de Cure featuring routes of different lengths for riders of all skill levels. There’s something for everyone from a leisurely short distance to a more challenging length. No matter which of the 5, 15, 32 or 62 mile distance you choose, the DFW Tour de Cure is a ride, not a race, so take it at your own speed and enjoy the journey.
Tour de Cure is a series of fundraising cycling events held in 43 states nationwide to benefit the American Diabetes Association.
Each Tour de Cure event has its own character and style–from unique starting points to gorgeous scenery and more! Choose your state and read more about your local Tour. No matter where you ride you’ll enjoy a fun day on your bike for a great cause.
The Tour de Cure is marking its 20th Anniversary this year Nationally and it’s 10th Anniversary Locally, so help us make an even bigger impact. In twenty years we’ve raised millions of dollars to fund research, provide services, and given voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. We have accomplished much, but as the number of Americans diagnosed with diabetes continues to rise, our mission becomes even more critical. Every dollar you raise and every mile you ride helps the American Diabetes Association in the effort to Stop Diabetes.

Event: 24th Annual Goatneck Bike Ride – Road
Route Distances: 10, 27, 41 and 69.5 miles
About the Ride: The Goatneck Bike ride is a rolling hill course which averages around 35 feet per mile of climbing. Click on the Directions tab and go to the Routes layout page for (69.5, 41, 10 & 27) that provides elevation maps. The roads are well maintained country roads with little traffic. The prevailing winds during this time of year are from the southwest, which provides a tail wind for the last portion of the ride coming into the finish! We provide rest stops every 8-9 miles on all courses.
Last year we had close to 2,500 riders. We provide showers at the finish in the Cleburne High School basketball locker rooms, located in the gym registration area.
In an effort to keep our ride prices down and provide as low a cost ride as possible, we are not able to provide a meal afterwards. All money raised goes to various Johnson County charities. Last year we were able to donate over $30,000 to local charities because of the participation of the riders.

Event: The Melon Patch Tour
Route Distances (Click distance for route maps): 8, 18, 29, 42 & 71 miles
About the Ride: Come see why over 700 cyclists come to De Leon each year to participate in The Melon Patch Tour.
Rest Stops less than 10 miles apart. Full SAG support. All routes monitored by TxDPS, with local Sheriff, Police & VFD assistance
It’s no secret as to why we are referred to as “The Best Fed Ride in Texas”
All routes are on either State High ways (SH) or lightly traveled Farm to Market (FM) roads that are chip seal and offer challenges for all endurance levels from beginner to semi professional.
Several cyclists that are training for the Wichita Falls “Hotter — N — Hell 100” choose our 71 mile route for its elevation changes on FM’s 2318 & 587.
The 42 mile route uses the same course as the 71 but takes a right turn at the community of Duster on FM 679. This routes second challenge will be the climb out of the Sabanna River bottom South of Gorman.
The 29 mile route turns onto FM 587 at the South side of town and makes its way directly to the community of Duster where they make the same turn as the 42 mile route towards Gorman.
The 18 mile route uses the same roads as the 71 & 42 milers where they travel South on SH 16 through town to the community of Downing. Here you will experience a long grade after exiting the Leon River bottom. After rest Stop #1 you will turn right on FM 2318 where you can take it easy for a few miles before the next challenge. Here you will enter the Leon River bottom again but remember if you go down in elevation you have to go up in elevation at some point. Don’t let the appearance of the small hill ahead fool you. You will change gears here, maybe more than twice, but don’t worry, rest stop #2 is about 1 mile away.
The 8 mile route goes to rest stop #2 and makes a turn around (after enjoying the eats & drinks) and makes their way back to the finish line.
