Great American Shiner Pedal

The GASP is back! Originally created in the late 1970s by a group of cyclists who shared a love of long rides and great Texas beer, the GASP became a beloved Texas cycling tradition. Now it returns as the Great American Shiner Pedal. The Great American Shiner Pedal (GASP) is a ride, not a race, built for cyclists who want to enjoy the open roads, the charm of small-town Shiner, and the camaraderie that makes great rides memorable. Participants can choose from three distances: 100 miles, 50 miles, or 25 miles, making it perfect for seasoned riders and casual cyclists alike. The ride is on open roads, meaning participants are required to follow the appropriate safety precautions and obey all traffic laws. Whether you’re chasing the full century or just enjoying a relaxed ride with friends, the Great Area Shiner Pedal is all about great roads, great people, and a great day on the bike. While the ride will be professionally chip timed, it is not a race and awards will not be handed out. Join us in Shiner and be part of the return of a Texas classic. The race will start and end at the Spoetzl Brewery. Entertainment at the brewery will include The Emotions (12pm-4pm) and Slim Bawb (4pm-7:30PM). Your entry includes 3 beers (21+) and a bratwurst meal at the conclusion of your ride. For an additional fee, the Spoetzl Brewery will be hosting their annual Crawfish Boil. Shirts and medals are not included in this year's GASP. Shiner Beer cycling jerseys are available to riders during the registration process for $100. Limited to 200 jerseys. Interested in volunteering? Sing up on the "Volunteer" page in the menu. All volunteers will receive a $30 Shiner gift card redeemable at the brewery!
