25 Bicycle Tours in the Texas Hill Country and West Texas

25 Bicycle Tours in the Texas Hill Country and West Texas
Norman D. Ford

The Hill Country, an area of wooded hills and lush valleys, is located immediately west of Austin and San Antonio in west central Texas. West Texas is a huge region of mountains, deserts, and deep canyons lying west of, and adjacent to, the Hill Country. Put together, this vast area offers the adventure cyclist an unlimited variety of terrain and scenery, thousands of miles of lightly traveled roads, and superb cycling conditions during the months when most of the US is buried under snow.
This substantial guide brings together the best road- and mountain-bicycle rides—whether a half-day or an all-day ride or a mulitday tour—in this huge and uncongested area. This selection of tours will satisfy those wanting flat paved-road cycling and those looking for single-track mountain trails.

Each tour chapter includes a detailed map, precise directions, information on terrain and mileage, and safety precautions.

A city and resource directory at the back of the book gives you information on maps, bicycle shops, hotels, campgrounds, and attractions—everything you need to know to plan a cycling vacation.
