Texas Hill Country

Discover This Unspoiled Cyclist’s Paradise!

This tour, in its 3rd season, accents the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Sparkling streams, towering oak and cedar trees, rugged limestone cliffs and majestic hills highlight this region. In spring, the wildflowers, especially Texas Bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush, decorate the landscape. In the fall, vibrant colors enhance the intricate network of quiet country roads. Wetlands and desert landscapes meet to provide a photographer’s paradise.

Friendly people, generally great weather, and the Hill Country’s central location are more reasons to consider this vacation destination. Boerne, Comfort and Fredericksburg, our points of lodging, offer great restaurants and interesting attractions, including the Nimitz Museum, National Museum of the Pacific War and Enchanted Rock State Park. A stroll down Main Street of Fredericksburg reminds you of the ambience of the old West.

We can’t guarantee you will “cycle with Lance.” But we can guarantee a few miles of cycling on his training routes.

The lore of Texas evokes stories of desperados and dreamers, cowboys and panhandlers. Legends of lost mines and the intrigue of rustlers and ranchers have been passed down through the ages. Cycling through the hills and valleys of this beautiful region might even have you singing “Git Along Little Doggies” before it’s all over!
