About
the Tour:
|
The
Fredericksburg Fall Foliage Frolic
is hosted by the Hill Country
Bicycle Touring Club. The tour brings people
from all over Texas to enjoy a weekend of riding and friendship
in the scenic Hill Country of Central Texas. There are supported
rides varying in length and degree of difficulty available
each day.
Fredericksburg was founded by German
settlers in the 1850's and is full of history.
Be sure to check out the Admiral Nimitz Museum in town or
drive up to Enchanted rock and hike up the second largest
rock in the US. Don't forget to visit the many little shops
and try some of the great restaurants and bakeries in town.

Frolic 2008 Foldout Flyer (PDF format).

Support and Safety:

Because
we care about your safety,
all riders must wear ANSI, Snell
or ASTM certified bicycle helmets and obey
traffic laws. Please choose routes within your
capabilities and be prepared to make minor repairs. Roving
support with snacks and fluids will be available on Saturday
only.
We cannot anticipate every road surface hazard or construction
project you will encounter on this tour. You, the rider, are
ultimately responsible for your own safety during your ride!!
Use common sense and caution at all times.
