The enchanting Texas Hill Country is one of the finest places in the US for cycling. We doubt that Lyndon Johnson had any idea he’d be creating such road cycling bliss when he paved every little back road in the county while Governor of the State of Texas. Many of our extraordinary cycling routes follow lightly traveled single and two-lane roads that wind through sprawling ranchlands. The wildflowers lining our routes are prolific and brilliant—the famed Texas bluebonnets blanket the rolling fields in purple hues. Visit the Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, the hub of the Hill Country and a town settled by German immigrants in the mid-1800s. Historic buildings still depict a half-timbered style and the local dialect known as “Texas German” is still evident among the descendants. If there’s one place in Texas that every cyclist must experience, the Hill Country is it. So, pack your old faded Levis and pick yourself up a Lone Star belt buckle while you’re spinning through an amazing vacation in big, beautiful Texas! You’ll come away understanding why many of us still want to grow up to be cowboys.
