Tour de Gap Rolls Into Buffalo Gap Texas This Weekend for 42nd Annual Ride

The 42nd Annual Tour de Gap rolls out under the shade of century-old live oaks in Buffalo Gap, Texas, just south of Abilene. Whether you’re a casual cruiser or a chain‑grease‑loving road warrior, there's a route with your name on it, and it’s all for a very good cause.

Talking Tour de Gap with the Folks Who Know It Best

To get the inside scoop, I sat down with Brady from Presbyterian Medical Care Mission, the nonprofit that benefits from this ride, and Jim from Bike Town. We talked about what makes Tour de Gap such a special tradition, how it supports our neighbors in need, and why it’s not just a ride, it’s a mission on wheels.

Why You Should Ride

It’s not just about mastering the Tour de Gap, it’s about heart. Proceeds from this year’s ride will support Presbyterian Medical Care Mission (PMCM), the nonprofit clinic that’s been serving low-income and uninsured adults across Taylor County and beyond since 1983. Hundreds of cyclists are expected to saddle up for the cause.
