Bikes, Brews, & Omelettes Two

A combined two hundred miles of bike routes, great local craft beer, and one giant omelette ... what more could a cyclist ask for? The back-to-back Bayou Teche Brewing Bike Bash and Giant Omelette Celebration Ride join forces to form Bikes, Brews, and Omelettes Two, a weekend of cycling quite unlike any other. 

On Saturday, the ride will stop by (and fuel up at) the VFW Post 9210's annual gumbo cook-off. Check-in at 6:30 am at the Youngsville Sports Complex, with options to start at 7:30 am, 8 am, and 9:15 am. Lunch will be provided at the Cookoff from 10 am–2 pm. 

On Sunday, November 6, it's on to Abbeville for the second day of the Giant Omelette Celebration—featuring antique cars on display, live music—and the majestic procession of chefs, eggs, and bread to the twelve-foot skillet awaiting its five thousand egg fate. 

These non-competitive rides both offer various routes with distances from ten to one hundred miles. This event is hosted by TRAIL, a non-profit organization dedicated to building and maintaining parks, paths and trails for hiking, walking, running, kayaking, biking, and canoeing. Tickets start at $30 for individual rides; combo registration deals and bike rentals are available. latrail.org/bbot.
