About the Tour: A Ride to Preserve History
“Welcome to the ranch.”
That is how Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States of America, used to greet visitors to his Texas Hill Country ranch. We want riders in the 3rd Annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour to feel the same warm welcome and sense of presidential history as those who came before them.

An exciting new addition to the 2010 LBJ 100 is the use of four historic Gillespie County rural schools as rest stops. What better way to honor Lyndon B. Johnson, the thirty-sixth President of the United States, widely acknowledged as the “Education President”! His progressive education bills and many of his “Great Society” legislation programs were designed in the tranquility of his ranch.
After the ride, enjoy the sites and activities in the Pedernales River Valley. Tour the recently-opened Texas White House on the LBJ Ranch. The Sauer-Beckmann farmstead on the LBJ State Park just across the river portrays farm life in the late 1800’s. In Johnson City, visit the LBJ boyhood home and museum at the LBJ National Historical Park Visitor Center. In Fredericksburg, the many shops, restaurants, the Museum of the Pacific War and Nimitz Gallery are among the diverse attractions.
The tour is sponsored by the Friends of LBJ National Historical Park, the Hill Country Bicycle Touring Club, the National Park Service, and the Western National Parks Association. All net proceeds from the tour will go to the betterment of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park.
