Easter Hill Country Tour

The Easter Hill Country Tour (EHCT) takes place in, you guessed it, the Texas Hill Country... specifically the areas surrounding Kerrville and Fredricksburg and is held Easter weekend every year. Just imagine a multitude of 2-lane country roads dissected by green valleys, rolling hills, rushing creeks, limestone cliffs, a small town or village here or there, and you have the Texas Hill Country. This is also cattle country and there are many historic ranches, including the LBJ ranch, that continue to remind us we are in Texas.

The EHCT is 3 days of riding on some of the most beautiful and challenging roads in the state of Texas. We ride primarily on lightly traveled ranch roads with short distances on any highways. The rides are fully supported with SAG support and numerous rest stops stocked with lots of goodies.

Friday's ride usually leaves out of Fredricksburg with 3 different routes ranging from 25-65 miles in distance. Saturday's ride leaves out of Kerrville with 3 distances ranging from 35-100 miles. Since most people head home on Sunday, the ride is shorter with a choice of 20 or 30 miles.

The EHCT is sponsored by four area bicycling clubs: Fort Worth Bicycling Association, Houston Bicycle Club, San Antonio Wheelmen, and the Austin Cycling Association. Each club hosts the ride every four years. For the last 37 years, this event has been noted one of the premier cycling events in Texas and we expect that tradition to continue for years to come.
