Bicycle Race & Tour

The Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Companies' Cotton Patch Challenge Bicycle Race and Tour celebrates its 13th year with a large field of cyclists, some pushing for speed in the USCF sanctioned races and others concentrating on endurance in the 63 mile course.

Racers will ride in the road races on Saturday and in the Criterium on Sunday.

Road racers can choose from 6, 21, 31, 41, 54, and 65 mile tour routes. The 6 mile fun ride is a great family ride, allowing for a leisurely pace and rest stops with plenty of time for riders and their families to enjoy the Rally entertainment, Kids Alley, and all of the festival fun.

Saturday's tours and road races begin in downtown Greenville and wind through the Hunt County countryside. YMCA and Greenville Rotary Club volunteers provide rest stops and sag wagons for riders.

Sunday's Criterium races can be described as NASCAR on bicycles - fast, easy to watch, and lots of crashes in the corners!

Both Cotton Patch racing events are USCF certified. They are classified as Division One Texas Cup events.

Join the 900-1000 cyclist who will ride and race in Greenville during the Cotton Patch Challenge!
