Pedal for a Purpose Bike Ride Cycling Channels Energy Looking for a post BP MS 150 ride? Register now for the 2nd Annual Pedal for a Purpose Bike Ride happening Saturday, April 30. The event brings cyclists from Houston and the surrounding area together to raise awareness and funds for Boys and Girls Country. The ride will have a staggered start from 7:30 to 8 a.m. and start and finish at Waller ISD Stadium in Waller, Texas. This fully supported BP MS 150 Recommended Ride offers three different distances/routes on mostly country roads both south and north of Hempstead. Cyclists will encounter both flat sections and gentle rollers. For eight years now, cycling has been a popular activity on the Boys and Girls Country campus thanks to the dedication of Teaching Parent Jim Stuckey, who trains nearly 20 of our kids and coordinates them on official rides. Come ride with the Boys and Girls Country cycle team and get to know our kids!
