Tour Das Hugel – Austin, TX

Unique Beginning

It started like any great idea….a couple of friends on a training ride that had several of Austin’s hardest hills.  Of course we smiled and asked, “how cool would it be to have a ride in Austin that covered all of the hardest hills?”

Tour Das Hugel was born in that very smile.   The very first Hugel only consisted of 65 miles of “hard” hills. We even held one in Aug – yes the hardest thing I have ever done.

Every year we would find a new hill and hidden treasures that increased the climbing.   Now after 5 years, we are up to 105 miles and 14,600 ft of climbing.  Of course, we realized that people could actually die if we kept the Tour Das Hugel in Aug… hence we move the race date to Nov.

  1. Damn, that was a tough ride! I’d like to give a big shout out to all the volunteers who hung out and supported us. Every rest stop was extremely well supported, and I didn’t pay a dime for this ride. Amazing.

    I ditched my jacket and leg warmers after the first loop, thinking it was going to warm up. I was wrong, and the only thing that kept me from bailing out was finding a girl’s sweatshirt on the side of 620. I looked ridiculous, but i was warm(er).
