Easter Bike Tour

Easter Bike Tour history

Celebrating 51 years of the hill country’s best cycling.

Experience the charm and hospitality of the Texas Hill Country and three days of the best riding Texas has to offer.  Quiet, well-paved roads, fully-stocked rest stops and panoramic scenery have made the Easter Bike Tour (formerly called The Easter Hill Country Tour) one of the premier cycling events in Texas. Renamed but still has all the breath-taking vistas, miles or wildflowers, and lung and leg scorching hills.

Join 1,000 other like-minded cyclists and see why this has been a beloved Easter weekend tradition with routes suitable for all categories of participants from novices to experienced riders. All routes offer cue sheets, maps, road markings, and GPS files. The  Friday and Saturday rides are fully-supported with rest stops and SAG vehicles . 

On  Easter Sunday ,  The Coming King Foundation  offers a free, immensely popular non-denominational  Sunrise Service  at their Prayer Garden overlooking I-20 and the YO Ranch. Then you may explore a unique local ride we have planned for you, or choose a ride on your own, either a short relaxed river ride or a last final scenic challenge. You’ll enjoy a relaxed, friendly cycling experience and, like so many of us, file away one more great memory of riding through the Texas Hill Country!

Easter Bike Tour is a member of the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce .
