  Join the Friends for a 14-mile guided bike ride at the Bahia Grande with Emily Lopez! It will be on caliche road and a slow pace for wildlife watching.

  This will be a 14-mile round trip ride, and even though it will be at a slow pace for wildlife watching, please be prepared to physically bike that distance. Please bring a tire repair kit and plenty of water. Unfortunately, there are not any restroom facilities on this route, so please plan accordingly.

  The bike ride will start from the gate on Hwy 48 marking the entrance of the Bahia Grande Unit of Laguna Atascosa. It will then run all the way to the other entrance gate to the Bahia Grande Unit, which is off of Hwy 100, and back.

  Please be there by 7:00am! wheels up at 7:30am
