A Cyclist's Playground in the Heart of Texas
Texas Hill Country. Cooled by gentle breezes, it’s a region of lush woodsy hills and meandering rivers unique to the Lone Star State. Where legendary dance halls delight you with boot-tappin’ country music. And the charming town of Fredericksburg welcomes you with bratwurst and biergartens and even Texas-grown Gewürztraminers. We hope to see y’all here real soon.
Highlights
- Bike the Willow City Loop amid quintessential wild west ranchland where explosions of wildflowers blanket hillsides in spring
- Explore antique shops in Fredericksburg and taste award-winning wine—you just might think you’ve been transported to a town on the Rhine
- Feast on authentic melt-in-your-mouth Texas BBQ and relax at our boutique hotel dripping in southern charm and comfort
- Pedal along peaceful roads past live oak and prickly pear cactus and into Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Texas Hill Country attracts a great deal of tourists, especially during springtime when the wildflowers are in full bloom. Portions of some of the biking routes on our trip are along roads with narrow shoulders or none at all. Although drivers are used to cyclists and are normally courteous, please remember to use extra caution when sharing the road with any motor vehicles.
Cattle guards and cattle are common on Hill Country roads, so be alert. The safest way to cross cattle guards is by walking your bike. If you decide to bike across, make sure you maintain a critical rate of speed (at least 5 mph) and approach at a right angle.
