The Houston Bicycle Club welcomes you to the 37th Annual Easter Hill Country Tour. Since 1974, the tour has been sponsored in rotation by the Houston Bicycle Club, the Lubbock Bicycle Club, the Fort Worth Biycling Association and the San Antonio Wheelmen. Beginning in 2011, the Austin Cycling Association will replace the Lubbock Bicycle Club in the rotation. The event has become noted as one of the premier cycling events in Texas and we hope it continues in that tradition for years to come.

Each year, anywhere from 800 to 1200 bicycle riders from all around the state meet to experience the beautiful scenery of the Texas Hill Country. The rides are fully supported and routes vary from 20 to 100 miles in length to suit every riding taste. This year, in addition to three days of riding, we will offer a Saturday night dinner with entertainment by the bicycling comedian, Tom Snyders.

Tom Snyders, "The Bicycling Comedian" has been riding to all his stand-up comedy performances throughout the United States for the past 20 years. In that time, he pedaled more than 150,000 miles and to all 50 states and 33 countries on six continents. He has also appeared on national television programs such as Good Morning America, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, Comedy Central and ESPN.

Everyone who preregisters for the ride will automatically be entered in a drawing for a Marin Corte Madera commuter bicycle from Hill Country Bicycle Works, with locations in Kerrville and Fredericksburg. The drawing will be held at the Saturday night program at the Y.O. Ranch Resort Hotel. You must be present to win! There will be more surprises (and prizes), so be sure to be there!
