Biking in Texas - The Texas Hill Country

The Hill Country of Central Texas may be bicycle touring's best-kept secret and perhaps the last frontier of adventure cycling in the U.S.

Visualize a vast network of 2-lane farm-to-market country roads traversing a vast undulating expanse dissected by deep green valleys, steep hills, rushing creeks, and rugged limestone cliffs, and no more than a scattering of small villages, and you then can begin to appreciate the absolute allure of the Hill Country as a bicycle touring opportunity. Notwithstanding its proximity to the major population centers of San Antonio and Austin, the Hill Country is astonishingly rural and unpopulated - a nostalgic reminder of a past era. It is an area that retains its rich cultural heritage and identity. Fredericksburg and Boerne are characteristic of the early German immigrants who settled and homesteaded in the Hill Country in the 1840's. The Hill Country is also cattle country and the region's many historic ranches are reminders that we are in Texas.
