Rider Information

Helmets are required for all participants. If you do not wear a helmet, you will not be allowed to participate. There are no exceptions. 

All rest stops will provide water, hydration beverages, fruit, plus sweet and salty snacks. Portalets will be stationed at every rest stop. Bike repair and support will be on-site at Discovery Green and at each rest stop to assist with bike needs. Sag wagons will be en route should a rider need a ride back to Discovery Green.

Tour de Houston is a rain-or-shine ride. The top priority is the safety of the riders, volunteers, and spectators. We continue to coordinate closely with the City of Houston, including the Office of Emergency Management, to actively monitor weather conditions in real time. We will provide updates should any adjustments to the event schedule or route become necessary.
