“Since 1997, I have probably been on 18 week long (or longer) tours. The Texas Hill Country Challenge ranks up there with the best of them. In my opinion the format was about as ideal as you could get, structured enough so everyone got to where they needed to be, but flexible enough to allow for slower riders, and provide lunch/dinner transport.”

“Trip was a 9.5/10 for me. Well organized and fun… The distances were fine and well thought-out. No terribly short days and no monster days. I liked the casual approach “what time should we head out” and the fact that we didn’t start rolling at insanely early hours. The debriefs were good, but I mostly wasn’t paying attention.”

“Good average distances. I’d take on more centuries, if they were “guaranteed” to be as good as this one!… I had a great time and would do it again! Overall, we were quite spoiled and I ate far too well… I was hoping to drop a few pounds, but even the calories burned in the hills couldn’t keep up with the great food options available at the end of each day.”

“I’ve done a couple of other tours, and none were better in planning or execution… Favorite things…the ride itself! This was only possible because there was nothing else to get in the way; you took care of it all. I just had to get on my bike and enjoy the ride to the next hotel. Great company along the way too. Even though I came in from out of state you guys made me feel so welcome, it was like riding with my own club……the whole group really made me feel at home. The pdf guide booklet that we received before the ride was excellent. The detail within this was superb, not only the route, but information on the surrounding area made for a more complete journey. Getting the GPS coordinates loaded to my bike computer took the worry out of getting lost even those times I ended up riding on my own. Keep the massages available too… nice touch; literally! Again, I enjoyed the whole experience immensely and will be talking about for quite some time to come. Keep me in the loop; I’d love an opportunity to ride with ya’all again.”

“I am still smiling. The Texas Hill Country Challenge was really a tough and challenging tour, but so rewarding; not only physically but also in the fellowship enjoyed. I’ve never seen or appreciated the Hill Country like I did during our tour. I expect I will be a regular at the Blanco Bowling Club from now on and although it was the first time I did the century from Fredericksburg to Lampasas it won’t be the last.”

-Bill W, Stafford TX

“I don’t have Don C’s experience on which to judge the Texas Hill Country Challenge, but for me it was perfect. Since I was the slowest rider, I am very much in agreement that the tour flexibility met my needs. Leon, Wes, and Randy watched out for me at the end, and I always had time to shower and dress for dinner.”
