LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour News

The Hill Country Bicycle Touring Club, the Friends of Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park and the Western National Parks Association want to thank again the more than 1,000 cyclists who made the 2010 LBJ 100 the most successful ride to date and the organizers want to thank everybody who sent us their feedback. We really appreciate your input, which was very helpful. We sincerely hope that we’ll be able to improve next year’s event.

The Fourth Annual LBJ 100 is scheduled for Saturday, March 26, 2011, so please mark your calendars. As with the 2010 event, scenic routes, a follow up hot meal and other amenities await.

Registration via Active.Com will be available beginning December 2010. You may also check the tour’s website and/or the tour’s weblog for any updates.

Many thanks for your past support and participation, and we hope to see you again on March 26, 2011!

The organizers of the 3rd LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all the volunteer helpers who put in endless hours of patient work, mostly behind the scenes, but also at the early packet pick-ups and on the day of the tour itself, helpers without whose efforts this great event would not have been possible, and – of course – we would like to thank our generous sponsors, too.
But we’d also like to thank all the more than 1,000 participants for their attendance as it is only the riders that make such an event a real success. And we’d especially want to thank them for their patience with all our little and big shortcomings in organizing such a large event. Even if we had hoped to exceed the 1,000 riders mark [which, in fact, we did by a good margin], it seems we have not been well enough prepared.
To help us to learn and improve next year’s ride, we’d be grateful for any comment, suggestion and/or criticism, by e-mail to info@lbj100bicycletour.org and/or through the forum: we’d really appreciate your feedback.
If you have a (short) story/account of your ride, or pictures or even video(s), we’d be very grateful if you’d let us post them on our website. Please, mail them to webmaster@lbj100bicycletour.org.

Online registration will close on March 25, 11:59 p.m.

On-site registration [cash or check only] will be available be at the registration tent on the LBJ air strip, beginning at 7:00 AM on the morning of the ride.

The LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour is happy to announce that this year the riders’ pictures will be taken by Enduro Photo and will be made available for purchasing on the company’s website. For that purpose the riders will be asked to place their numbers on their helmets and the matching bib numbers on their right sides.

There is some ongoing construction underway (widening and constructing access roads to the air strip) that has been delayed due to springtime rains.  The NPS will make a decision on Monday, but the result may be a change in how vehicles will enter, and riders will exit and enter the ranch.

It may be different that what we show on the maps, however, as they have been printed, but all route changes will be clearly signposted.

There will be a hot lunch available, and vegetarians will be accommodated, as well.  Service should begin around 11:00 AM.

The park entrance will be closed only a short time (approx. 30 min. at the start of the ride), during which time the rider pack will be exiting. This is a safety issue, and the NPS felt that it would be prudent to eliminate moving vehicular traffic until the riders pass.
