Century Rides in Texas
The comprehensive 2026 directory of 100-mile centuries, metric centuries (62 miles), and endurance cycling tours across Texas.
Cycling in Texas: Terrain & Route Overview
Everything is bigger in Texas, and its century cycling scene is no exception. Home to legendary mega-events like the Hotter'N Hell Hundred in Wichita Fallsβone of the largest single-day century rides in the worldβTexas embraces endurance cycling with unmatched energy and pride. The Texas Hill Country around Austin, Fredericksburg, and Kerrville is the state's cycling crown jewel, serving up steep limestone rollers, clear spring-fed rivers, and springtime bluebonnet displays. In East Texas, shaded routes wind through towering pine forests, while the coastal plains provide flat, fast century courses cooled by Gulf breezes. Mild winters allow for continuous base training when the north is frozen. With wide highway shoulders, energetic volunteer crews, and post-ride Texas BBQ feasts, cycling 100 miles in Texas is a true rite of passage.
Terrain Characteristics: Texas Hill Country limestone rollers, piney woods in the east, coastal Gulf breezes, and West Texas desert mountains.
Riding Season & Weather: October through April (Statewide); Year-round early morning.
