Renew old friendships and make new ones as you join fellow tandem enthusiasts April 27-29 for three exhilarating days of cycling in some of Texas’ most scenic countryside. La Grange is located roughly halfway between Houston and Austin, in an area of rolling hills. One of the older towns in the state, the streets of La Grange were laid out in 1837, the year after Texas gained its independence from Mexico. The German, Czech, and Moravian influence of the early settlers is still very evident in the local architecture and cuisine; and the locals proudly celebrate their heritage.
