Get ready to push your limits on a 4-day ride camp in Fredericksburg, exploring the wild, free-spirited, and stunning roads of Texas Hill Country.
This cycling adventure is for athletes looking to test their limits and push their endurance. Experience the rich history of gunslingers and cattle rustlers, who once roamed these lands in search of fortune and fame, as you tackle the steep pitches of buttery smooth tarmac and take in the breathtaking views of the prairie and Texas wildlife. Challenge yourself on the open range of Gillespie County, and finish the day with a sense of accomplishment as you settle into the charming town of Fredericksburg, a top-notch Texas getaway brimming with wineries, roadhouses, saloons, and an abundance of belt buckles. From an afternoon in Luckenbach to a lunch stop in Comfort, or a spin down the Fredericksburg highway, this journey is packed with Texas-size cycling volume that will leave you with memories of a lifetime. Please note: Our 4-day ride options below are based on the longer 7-day Ride Camp. Option 1-4 is standard on the Monday start, and Option 4-7 is standard on the Thursday start. These are subject to change based on inclement weather and road closures. Learn more about Ride Camps and if they're right for you » See our 7-day Texas Ride Camp »

What Guests are Saying
I definitely liked the format of the trip with a hub and spoke week of riding, basically ride, eat, sleep...ok, a couple beers between eat and sleep. Definitely enjoyed this style of active vacation.

I wanted to pack in a lot of challenging riding, and that's exactly what I did. The bikes are excellent. Love the disc brakes and electronic shifting. The routes were well planned and we got to see a lot of the area. Loved being able to easily walk to dinner each night. Days didn't start too early, and I liked that. Also, the bakery where you ordered lunch each day is phenomenal. Every sandwich/salad I had was delicious.

This was the second time I participated in the Fredericksburg ride camp and I enjoyed it at least as much as I did the first time. My wife did not ride but found plenty to do in Fredericksburg and enjoyed the meals with the ride group and our guides. Also, the other riders at the camp--all of whom, I think, other than me, were there for the full week--were friendly, welcoming, interesting and came from diverse backgrounds. This too contributed to the overall camp experience. I was able to keep up with almost everyone and enjoyed riding with the group.
