Something powerful is pedaling into the Lost Pines and it all starts right here in Bastrop.

The Bike MS: ACC Texas MS 150, presented by American Communications Construction, is the largest fundraising event in the Bike MS series and one of the most anticipated cycling weekends in Texas. On April 25–26, hundreds of cyclists will gather in Bastrop to ride, raise funds, and rally together in the fight against multiple sclerosis.

Whether you’re riding, supporting a participant, or simply soaking in the energy, it’s a weekend that brings purpose and community together.

New This Year: A Bastrop Launch Through the Lost Pines

For 2026, riders can choose a 38-mile route launching directly from Bastrop, winding through the scenic beauty of Buescher State Park.
This tree-lined ride showcases the rolling hills and towering pines that make our corner of Texas so unique. It’s a stunning introduction to the weekend and a memorable way to experience Bastrop on two wheels.

Participants can choose from multiple route distances:

Day 1: 96, 75, 50, or 38 miles
Day 2: 55 or 82 miles

There’s even the fan-favorite “Leap Ahead Route” on day two for riders looking for a shorter finish option.

The Energy Doesn’t Stop at the Ride

After the first day’s ride, cyclists gather in La Grange for an overnight celebration complete with live music from Bag of Donuts, the Primal People’s Choice jersey contest, and Rider Village powered by Noble Corporation.

On day two, participants pedal toward an unforgettable finish at Texas A&M University, where cheering crowds and a festival-style atmosphere await.

Why It Matters

Bike MS isn’t just about miles it’s about impact. With a fundraising minimum of $400 per rider, participants help fuel groundbreaking research, programs, and services for those living with multiple sclerosis.

Every rider has a story. Every mile makes a difference.
