2024 Conquer The Coast presented by H-E-B

The United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce Foundation invites you to experience the adventure of riding your bicycle around Corpus Christi Bay's 66-mile shoreline by participating in the 22nd Annual Conquer the Coast presented by H-E-B bike ride.  It has gained the reputation of being one of the most unique rides in Texas and continues to grow annually.

2024 will be a bitter sweet year; with one final ride over the old Harbor Bridge, we say farewell to the iconic bridge as we anticipate this will be the last year the ride will be able to cross over it.

Conquer the Coast packs so much into one ride that no other cycling event quite compares. The H-E-B 66-mile ride begins at 7:30a.m. in the heart of Corpus Christi's Sports, Entertainment and Arts District (N. Bayfront Park, Corpus Christi, TX 78401). See some of the region's most iconic views, an award-winning art museum and the awe-inspiring water gardens. Your trek up the Harbor Bridge gives you a bird's eye view of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and the nation's 5th largest port to your left. One your right, you'll see a National Landmark, the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium. All with the expansive Corpus Christi Bay, as the backdrop, where you survey the very coast you set out to conquer.

The moment you reach the 138 ft peak of the Harbor Bridge and begin your descend towards the shoreline you realize this isn't just a ride, from this point on, it will forever become your annual tradition.

The adventure has only begun as you begin to circumnavigate the highways clockwise through all the picturesque towns that line the shores of Corpus Christi Bay. Portland, Aransas Pass, Ingleside and Port Aransas all offer their own unique flair to the Coastal Bend and promise spectacular views along the way. The Port Aransas Ferry connects you to Mustang & Padre Island where the true test begins. Some call it the "Toughest 18 Miles in Texas" as this stretch of Mustang Island is what it's all about. It's what separates the joy riders from the cyclists. This ride offers the unique opportunity to ride through the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. A quick ride past the island campus of Texas A&M Corpus Christi and you hit Ocean Drive: easily one of the most scenic drives in all of Texas.

If the H-E-B 66-mile ride is not for you, Conquer the Coast also offers a 21-mile ride, as well as a 10-mile 'Family Ride'.
