Texas Hill Country Riding

[George Swain]

Greetings,

I’ll be in Austin for a conference in late September and have heard many great things about Texas Hill Country over the years. Thinking of heading down a day early with my bike to ride a 100 or 200K permanent route in the hills. 

Anyone have any local knowledge? Tips? Should I ride right from Austin? Rent a car and head to Dripping Springs? Fredericksburg? 

Hoping to find some glorious low traffic roads while checking another box off my American Explorer list. Finally, any specific perm routes you’d recommend?

Many thanks,

George Swain
