Trip Inclusions

Additional Details

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Ride Camp is a mix of a guided and self-guided tour, focused on building base miles for your cycling season or for a big event. As a result, these trips concentrate on the physical dimension and not on the sightseeing incorporated into our other vacations. We also assume that guests are more self-sufficient than our “all-inclusive” style trips.
  • Trek Travel Ride Camps are designed for larger groups of up to 30 riders.
  • Finding the best routes in Texas means there may be limited services during rides. There may not be traditional restrooms available on some routes, but there will be plenty of trees.
  • West Texas winds can be either your friend (tailwind), or foe (headwind). Your Trek Travel guide might suggest changes to routes when winds pick up.

FAQs

The Fredericksburg area enjoys generally warm, dry weather which makes these rides particularly enjoyable. The fall can see the highs range from the high 60's to low 80's ºF (20-28ºC), while the lows are generally between 40ºF and 50ºF (4-10ºC). We always recommend bringing along riding layers and even a bit of rain gear so you can keep riding comfortably throughout the day.
