Routes
Route Start Point
All routes start at the Trailhead Beer Garden on the scenic campus of Schreiner University in Kerrville. When you enter the campus take a left at the first T and continue around till you see the parking lot near the beer garden. There is restroom nearby. Then head on down the trail.
Consistent with our relaxed approach, we do not have a “mass start”. We do encourage riders to get on the road before 9ish, since our rest stop operating hours are based on riders starting at 8ish. Rest stops are shown on the maps and close at 2:00pm. SAG support ends at 3:00pm.
At the start points, make new friends or meet up with old ones and ride at your own pace.
2025 Routes
These are the routes from 2025, The 2026 routes will be published late in March.
Our 2025 routes are set but as any good cyclist knows, they are subject to change for road construction, natural disasters, and yes, even more road construction. Make sure you download the RideWithGPS app on your phone and use during the rides to follow the routes.
Courses will have rudimentary markings as to lesson the impact on the community. Cue Sheets can be provided upon request. We will also have QR codes available at the ride start locations. Reminder that all roads are open to vehicular traffic; you are required by law to obey all traffic laws. This is for your safety as well the safety of others!

Safety
ALL RIDERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR CPSC APPROVED SAFETY HELMETS
Be Prepared: Friday and Saturday rides will be supported with rest stops and SAG vehicles, but you should keep in mind that help cannot be everywhere at once. Sunday is on your own and not supported. You should carry a tire repair kit (incl. spare tube, patches, and tire levers), a pump or CO2 inflator, water, snacks, and some basic first aid supplies. We have done everything possible to scout safe routes and will do our best to mark hazards such as rough road surfaces, cattle guards and low water crossings that may be slick. We reserve the right to detour routes if water levels at low-water crossings are too dangerous to cross.
Obey Traffic Laws: Cyclists are required to obey the Texas State laws that pertain to bicycles. The bicycle is considered a vehicle in the State of Texas and the rider is responsible to obey ALL traffic laws, including stopping at all stop signs and red lights. Slower vehicles should be on the right side of the road, but not so close to the edge that it might cause motorists to try to pass when it is unsafe to do so. Be predictable in your actions and courteous to the other drivers who are sharing their roads with us.
Pace Lines: Be careful when riding in pace lines with other riders, especially if you are unfamiliar with the riding styles of those riders. Any slight change of speed or direction could cause a serious accident, and an unannounced cattle guard could end your ride in an instant.
Be Polite: Remember that we are guests in the Kerrville area for the weekend. Be kind and courteous to our hosts so we will be welcomed back on future visits.
