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 have joined forces to form Bikes, Brews, and Omelettes Two, a weekend of cycling like Acadiana has never seen before.

Saturday, November 3: Arnaudville's Bayou Teche Brewery hosts the The Bayou Teche Brewing Bike Bash, where delicious craft beer, music by the Has Beans, and a general good time awaits cyclists at the finish line, no matter how long their route. Check-in at 6:30 am at the brewery, start times beginning at 7:50 am with festivities extending into the afternoon and evening.

Sunday, November 4: The Giant Omelette Celebration Ride will help riders work up an appetite...and they're gonna need it! Abbeville's famous Giant Omelette is made up of over 5000 eggs cooked up in a 12-foot skillet, the perfect protein boost after touring the coastal marshes on bike. Check-in at 6 am at the Vermilion Parish Courthouse, start times beginning at 6:50 am, Giant Omelette preparation and serving 1:30 pm–4:30 pm.

These non-competitive rides both offer various routes with distances from 10 to 100 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 $25 for individual rides; combo registration deals and bike rentals are available. latrail.org/bbot.
