"Welcome to the ranch."

Come join us Saturday, March 24, 2012, in the Texas Hill Country for a ride already touted as "an iconic Texas ride." We've seen rapid growth: 1130 riders enjoyed the ride and post-ride festivities in 2011.

As President Johnson often told visitors to his beloved Hill Country ranch – "All the World is Welcome Here!"  We want riders in the 5th Annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour to feel the same warm welcome and sense of Presidential history as those who came before them.

T-Shirts

We strive to have a complimentary commemorative t-shirt for every rider, but regrettably can only guarantee one for riders pre-registered by February 29th. As of this year, we have technical t-shirts of wicking-grade material.

Jerseys

A commemorative cycle jersey again will be offered for the 2012 event. Furnished by Champ-Systems, a leader in the sports apparel industry, it will be available on-line when you register (price: $85), or may be purchased (beginning Jan. 15) at Ride Away Bicycles in San Antonio. These stunning jerseys have become collector's items!

Bicycle inspection

Bike inspections are not required to ride in the 5th Annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour.  However, riders are strongly encouraged to bring their bike in to any of the three Ride Away Bicycles shops in San Antonio, any of the REI stores in Austin or Round Rock, or Hill Country Bicycle Works in Fredericksburg or Kerrville at least two weeks prior to the day of the event (March 24).  These sponsors have graciously agreed to perform a basic Mechanical Inspection free of charge to identify any major issues with the equipment.  Of course, anything found where the rider would want the sponsor’s techs to correct would be subject to prevailing sponsor shop rates. Help ensure that you’re mechanically equipped for an enjoyable ride!
