The Goatneck Bike Ride is a rolling hill course which averages around 35 feet per mile of climbing throughout Johnson County, Texas. Click on the Directions tab and go to the Routes layout page for (69.5, 41, 10 & 27) that provides elevation maps. The roads are well maintained country roads with little traffic. The prevailing winds during this time of year are from the southwest, which provides a tail wind for the last portion of the ride coming into the finish!

We provide rest stops every 8-9 miles on all courses. Last year we had close to 1,500 riders. Last year we were able to donate over $30,000 to local charities and teacher grants because of the participation of the riders.

The 37th Annual Goatneck Bike Ride is once again on for 2024! This year's ride will take place on Saturday July, 27, 2024. All registration will take place online. There will be registration in person the evening before the ride and the morning of the ride. 

The Cleburne Education Foundation (CEF) will once again serve as host and is excited to welcome riders back to Johnson County.. The CEF jumped at the opportunity to take over this great event. The CEF will continue to make sure that the Goatneck will be one of the premier rides in the State of Texas. LONG LIVE THE GOAT!!!!
