The Hill Country is considered a rare jewel in the eyes of Lone Star State bicyclists—and more and more riders from outside the state are learning why. Join us on this tour showing off some of the best riding the region has to offer — and America has to offer in the spring–time.
Imagine crystal-clear streams cutting shallow valleys through oak-covered hills criss-crossed with lightly traveled, paved roads. In the springtime, the roadsides are absolutely covered with wildflowers, including Texas bluebonnets, Indian blanket, and paintbrush. Temperatures can range from the thirties to the eighties, but most likely we’ll see fifties at night, warming into the seventies during the day.
