We loved Texas Hill Country. The biking was amazing....wide open roads with no cars! We had not expected that at all. Loved riding around the windy roads through the ranches, past cows and sheep. The wide open blue sky, the friendly people...it was terrific. The live music in the town of Fredericksburg was also fantastic. I would love to return and do this trip again.

The Fredericksburg area enjoys generally warm, dry weather, which makes riding in this region particularly enjoyable. In March and April expect highs in the mid-70's to low 80's (24-28ºC), and lows in the 50's (10-15ºC). The late fall can see the highs range from the low 70's to low 80's ºF (20-28ºC), while the lows are generally between 50ºF and 60ºF (4-10ºC). We always recommend bringing along riding layers and even rain gear so you can keep riding comfortably throughout the day.
