📍 Rolling Oaks Mall – San Antonio, TX

⏰ Ride Start: 8:00 AM

The Fiesta Wildflower Ride returns in 2026 with the same heart, community spirit, and scenic routes that made it a San Antonio spring tradition. This fully supported, non-competitive ride celebrates cycling, Fiesta season, and the beauty of South Texas in bloom. Whether you’re a longtime Wildflower rider or joining us for the first time, expect a well-organized, welcoming event built around safety, fun, and great riding.

Ride Options & Routes

Riders may choose from three scenic route options:

• 25-Mile Route – Perfect for newer riders, families, or those looking for a relaxed Fiesta spin
• 40-Mile Route – A balanced challenge with rolling terrain and classic Wildflower scenery
• 60-Mile Route – For experienced riders looking to stretch their legs and enjoy extended miles through the area

All routes are clearly marked, supported with rest stops, and designed to showcase the best roads and scenery around northeast San Antonio. Routes are not races. This is a fun, inclusive ride meant to be enjoyed at your own pace.
