The Canadians were cycling guests in 2016. The return-to-Texas 2020 rides planned were canceled due to the pandemic. Thus in 2023, we were very excited to hear from them again that they are coming to Texas to ride with us! Eight days of cycling around Austin and in the Texas Hill Country. As these gentlemen are experienced long-distant cyclists, expert cyclists with local knowledge were selected as guides.

One guest wanted to ride 100 miles on the second day. The Austin TXBT guide Dennis Lastochkin created a special route and the remaining team members joined at the 20 mile-marker to complete their custom route of 80 miles that day. The other days were of various lengths depending on the weather, terrain, the difficulty of the previous day’s ride and their preferences.

Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop was again their bike shop of choice. As usual, Alejandro gave TXBT excellent bikes and services. Favorite places to eat from previous rides were requested to be included in their TXBT experiences Jester King Brewery Hill Top Cafe Woerner Warehouse Cafe + Cateringng

A great time was had by all. We at TXBT look forward to riding with these Canadians again!

We want to ride with you. Let us hear from you.

Experienced Canadian cyclists asked for an interesting 50-mile gravel bike ride. Time constraint - one free afternoon in a conference week. Business associates. First time to cycle together. These good people love outdoor activities, are fun conversationalists, and enjoyed our Texas countryside roads. Wild Boar family. Roadrunners, ranch cattle, horses, spring flowers, flowing creeks. Excellent time for TXBT and our guests. Hope they return for more.

A joy of working for Texas Bike Tours are notes with photos from previous guests saying again how much they enjoyed a TXBT bike experience. This special 2019 photo called back to now the memories of this delightful guest, her friends that rode with us and Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop bike rentals. While TXBT isn’t offering city rides in 2022, there are other excellent options now in Austin. Rent a bike. Book a tour. See Austin on a bike. Be with people and places in our city.

Russell, an experienced cyclist from Australia, asked for assistance in the creation and ex*****on of a ten-day solo bike touring experience in the Texas Hill Country.

TXBT combined the preferences, needs and skill level of Russell with the knowledge of the local areas to create a ten-day schedule of travels from small town to small town with information in each town about locals, bike shops, accommodations, camping sites and sources for nutrition and meals. As Russell is experienced in creating his cycling routes, TXBT only provided information on the different types of routes we have created for guests over the years as well as on-line sources we use in the creation of routes. It was a fun, interesting, creative process and a detailed agenda was finalized.

During the experience, TXBT provided a bike equipped for touring, helmet, lights, basic repair supplies and tools, transportation from Austin to ride start and from ride end to Austin, emergency SAG as needed. After he rode off on that first day, we were so excited about his adventure that we waited for him further down the road to catch him cycling. Here is that video.

TXBT and Russell stayed in contact throughout the days. He rode well, enjoyed the local town folk, built good memories and in that process, TXBT’s knowledge of creating this type of experiences for future guests was enhanced. Check our his Trip Advisor review of this experience on the TXBT website.
