On October 27, 2012 the Fourth Annual Texas Mamma Jamma Ride will be held at Reunion Ranch Northwest of Austin. Mamma Jamma is a well-supported, one-day bike ride through the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Participants have a choice of bike routes that run anywhere from 13 to 100 miles. It is a ride, NOT a race. It is an event for men, women, and families, and all levels of biking experience. There will be organized kids activities starting at 10:30 am, a 5k trail run/walk for non-riders and many volunteer opportunities. Funds raised through the Mamma Jamma Ride support local organizations which provide year-round help for people in our community fighting breast cancer.
