Mid-summer is peak riding and peak traffic. Ride smart and make the most of it.
The Willow City Loop near Fredericksburg winds past granite outcrops and, in spring, fields of bluebonnets. In summer it is all big Texas sky and open road. Pair it with a stop in wine country.
Hydrate before and during every ride, wear ventilated gear that still protects, and never cross a flooded low-water crossing. In the Hill Country, the heat and the water are both real hazards.
