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 either receive instructions for ordering your socks OR you will be provided a code and store link to use to order your jersey. Shipping is included with the jersey. You’ll have opportunities to pick up your socks at each of our rides.

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

The T-shirt for the Tour de Paris is optional and adds $10 to your total cost.

Each ride will send you a confirmation so that you can get your packet, t-shirt and other goodies before the ride or on the day of the ride.
