Gear up to make a difference in the lives of hungry children, families and seniors in our community by participating in Tarrant Area Food Bank's annual bike ride. Gear Up to End Hunger takes place at the scenic Fort Worth Water Gardens in downtown Fort Worth. 
Online registration has ended. On-site registration will be available starting at 7 a.m. on the day of the ride, Oct. 8. 
Whether you are an experienced cyclist or a more leisurely rider, Gear Up to End Hunger has a route for you. Choose from a 10-mile route through downtown Fort Worth, a 25-mile route that glides through the Cultural District and returns through Clearfork, or just a family ride around the block. All routes begin and end at the Fort Worth Water Gardens. <A HREF="http://bit.ly/2ddLG3W" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">View the 2016 bike ride route</A>.
After the bike ride, join us for music, complimentary refreshments and a prize giveaway. Celebrate your cycling accomplishments while enjoying a hot dog from Sassy Hot Dogs, a taco from Salsa Limón or a popsicle from Alchemy Pops. Additional food items will be available for purchase. The newly opened Wild Acre Brewing Company will serve their best craft beer. 
We are excited to have Mayor Betsy Price as our honorary chair for the event, so please invite your friends, family members and colleagues as we Gear Up to End Hunger. All proceeds from the event support Tarrant Area Food Bank's work to provide nutritious food to North Texans facing hunger.
