There are some riding options available to you on Wednesday, but it is not supported.  

Downtown and around town in Lafayette which can be as much as 18 miles (no road markings, use RideWithGPS app.  I recommend driving to downtown and park at St. John Cathedral School by the St. John Oak tree (515 St. John St., Lafayette, LA). Maps are at the bottom of this page.

The longer routes travel South toward New Iberia with a variety of distance options up to 56 miles.  The first 2 miles on Frontage Rd and Garber road are rough.  An option would be to drive to Parish Brewing then ride out from there.  Maps are at the bottom of this page.

We encourage you to join our RideWithGPS tour account and download the routes to your phone or GPS navigation device.
