The past year and a half put a damper on our travel plans and brought more isolation and anxiety into our lives. But it hasn\u2019t pumped the brakes on our wanderlust. If anything, we\u2019re more ready for a two-wheeled escape where our biggest concerns are the simple essentials: where to rest, find water and food, and ride next.<\/p>\n<p>The cycling adventures on our list are long and short, local and international, self-guided and led by the pros.

That\u2019s the ideal time of year to escape south and take on this 311-mile paved loop mapped by the Adventure Cycling Association. The route starts and ends in downtown Austin near the Texas state capitol, where you can down all the breakfast tacos you can handle at Veracruz All Natural. Next, you\u2019ll head out to gorgeous hill country on mostly rural county and state roads, outlined by blankets of bluebonnets and other wildflowers. You won\u2019t want to miss a stop in Fredericksburg, known for its wineries and German heritage sites. This route is easy to customize with numerous options to shorten your trip or add destinations like the otherworldly Summit Trail at Enchanted Rock. &#8230;\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/images\/bke120121stotravel-003-1638214678.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CXOgo1HuEuf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
