IMPORTANT! 65-Mile-Route Change:
Due to heavy construction on FM 448 and advisories from TxDOT managers who tell us that the construction will not be completed by 6 March, we are changing the 65 mile Metric Century route. This is the ONLY route that will change. The change is very simple but all riders need to be aware: When you arrive at the Serbin (Wendish Museum) Rest Stop, all riders will turn around and double back on the route returning to St. Mary's rest stop on FM 2104, down FM 153 past Rocky Hill and on to State Hwy 71 for the normal route to the finish line. The mileage will remain very near the same. We will have volunteers at the Serbin rest stop making announcements about this change or check with any volunteer for information and assistance. Watch for route signs and ride safely!

Route Photos Gallery
Hello Pedal Thru The Pines Participants,
In an effort to make our ride safer and easier to navigate, we offer this photo gallery of Hot Spots, Cool Spots and Route related photos.
Hot Spots denote hazardous areas on the routes such as blind approaches to intersections, unprotected lane crossings, RR Crossings and the like. Some of these spots will have a SAG member present directing cycle traffic or with route information available. We are making every effort to eliminate or otherwise lessen these hazards but as you are riding on public ways, we have limited control over what we can and cannot change. By providing these photos, you, the rider, will have a preview of what the hazard looks like before you ride the course. As always, ride with caution, awareness and responsibility for yourself and others on the route.
Cool Spots denote rest stops and scenic areas along the routes. Enjoy the refreshments, the fellowship and the ride!
Route related photos depict key turns and intersections along the route. Some of the photos show the approach to a turn or intersection. There should also be signs along all routes but know that sometimes our signs are inadvertently removed without our knowledge. If you need any assistance along the routes always look for SAG in orange vests or Family Crisis Center Volunteers for guidance.
Hopefully, after scrolling through these photos, your mind's eye will remember these locations while you are riding our routes. Please use our feedback page with any comments or suggestions for improvements. Your safety is our first priority!
Special note: Currently there is heavy road construction on the 67 mile route between Serbin and Winchester. This route MAY change as the ride date approaches. Check the Pedal Through The Pines website for updates on this route.

Click on any picture and it opens a slide show, you can then scroll through by rolling over the photo and clicking the forward and backward arrows on each side. Note the text description at the bottom of each photo. These photos are in order as you ride the longest route; look for 16 mile (Alum Creek) and 27 mile (Buescher) rest stops throughout the slide show.
