Schlumberger Education
Expedition
The 7th annual Education Expedition
will take place on Saturday, March 27th. We promise to provide you
with a quality ride whether you are training for that all-important
BP MS 150 or just wanting a great day with friends. The Schlumberger
Education Expedition ride begins at Hightower High School and winds
throughout quiet streets and into the countryside, before looping
back home.
The routes are designed to minimize busy intersections while
providing a smooth and scenic ride. Water stations are staffed by
volunteers from local schools and they will be vying for the Best
Water Station award. Be prepared to be entertained along this route!
Stay and enjoy lunch with your friends after the ride. We are
providing a scrumptious lunch and entertainment! SAG wagons will be
on the course to assist you with any needs. This is one ride you
don’t want to miss!
Registration information will be forthcoming.
