Atlas Ride
For the fourth consecutive year, the cyclists of Texas 4000 will bike from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska with hopes of raising over $350,000 for the American Cancer Society. In its third year, the ATLAS ride is a public send-off for the Texas 4000 on the first 70 or 39 mile leg of their 4,500 mile journey. With an estimated 400 participants, we hope to raise an additional $10,000 to directly benefit the American Cancer Society!

The ride will be fully supported and will feature frequent rest stops with snacks and drinks. A party with great food, live music, and entertainment awaits all participants at the end of the ride, and transportation back to the departure location is available.
