The Top Of Texas Heritage Ride Is Coming

It's the inaugural year for the Top of Texas Heritage Ride, and it's going to be one of the coolest things we've seen in Amarillo in a while. The race is organized by the Community Engagement Unit of the Amarillo Police Department, and all the funds raised are going to a singular charity.

One Chair At A Time will be the beneficiary of the funds raised. They help improve the quality of life for adolescents and young adults who have physical disabilities by donating sports wheelchairs and providing opportunities for them to play in adaptive sports.

What Will The Ride Consist Of

That kind of depends on which ride you want to jump into. They have four different rides that you can choose from, depending on your experience level. The first is a 10-mile ride that will take you through The Big Texan, Slug Bug Ranch, Hodgetown, and a whole lot more. Next up is a 20-mile ride that adds on places like Route 66 and the Amarillo Country Club to the aforementioned places.

Getting into the super advanced rides, the 37-mile option will lead you even further out towards the Amarillo Botanical Gardens, the Downtown Church District, and more. The final option is a whopper. A 57-mile ride awaits you that will take you outside the city to get a view of Amarillo from a different perspective.
