Gulf Coast
February 24 - March 12, 2023
February 24 - March 12, 2023
This is a 2-week route that explores the south and the Gulf at just the right time of year. The U.S. Gulf is a collection of diversity, beautiful beaches, and white sands. You will have Southern hospitality and ride though areas filled with history and culture. Over 2 weeks the group will experience two days of rebuilding homes damaged by hurricanes and flooding, with the sites subject to change as the recovery unfolds.
White sand beaches, warm Gulf waters, and rich history in cities such as Baton Rouge make this a fabulous way to warm up your legs from the winter.
Plus, the Fuller Center is offering a shuttle back to Pensacola FL from Galveston TX at the end of the event.

Segment 1 will embark on a remarkable journey by the white sand beaches of the coast and next to the glistening waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Experiences include Dauphin Island and some amazing bike trails off the beaten path.
Also this week, see the devastation that remains from the 2021 Hurricane Season, a stark contrast to the beauty of the coast.
