Bicyclists and the Hill Country have had a love affair for years. It’s not only the alternating, seldom boring landscape — “up and down” in the words of one cyclist — but the coming together of old friends and the chance to make new ones as part of group rides organized during the fall and spring.
According to Ingram resident Norman Ford, author of “Bicycle Tours in the Texas Hill Country & West Texas,” Kerr and Gillespie counties are ideal for bicycle riding, “because they have virtually a labyrinth of narrow country roads, all paved, with very low traffic count. And there’s almost no trucks on them and very few cars … that’s why I live here, because of the great cycling,” he said.
