Are You Ready for the Challenge?

The European Tour of Texas is a bundle of 4 small community bike rides that share a European Theme. They live up to their European Heritage with challenging routes, a variety of distances and blend it all with Texas Hospitality. We’ve ridden these rides for decades and know that they are all committed to providing an excellent ride experience.

The best part of this series is that you get to pick the size challenge that you want. A variety of route distances makes it possible for cyclists of varying ability levels to pick the challenge that fits their legs, lungs and saddle muscles. You also have the option on riding all 4 OR selecting a 3 ride package.

Some rides have made their T-shirt an optional item with an additional cost. During our registration process, you can ADD those items and cost if you like.

When registering, you have 3 options: Just Rides (ride bundles with no apparel), Rides & Socks (ride bundles with a pair of custom socks) or Rides & Jersey (ride bundles with a custom jersey).

After you register for a ride bundle that includes apparel, you will receive instructions for ordering your socks OR your jersey in your confirmation email. Shipping is included with the jersey. You’ll have opportunities to pick up your socks at any of our rides.

All bundles include T-shirts from the Muenster Metric and Tour d’Italia.

The T-shirt for the Bosque Tour de Norway or Tour de Paris are optional and add $10 each to your total cost.

Sometime in April, each ride will send you a confirmation so that you can get your packet, t-shirt (where appropriate) and other goodies before the ride or on the day of the ride.
