On October  23-24, 2021, The Friends of the Phoenix our team will be riding around Galveston Bay in the 15th annual Bike Around the Bay cycling event. We are riding to support the most productive bay in Texas that provides habitat for more than one-third of all threatened and endangered species, produces more oysters than any other body of water in the United States, and supports vital industries like agriculture, tourism, and more.
