The Sweatin' Burnt Orange Bike Tour, now in its seventh year, is the primary fundraising event for The University of Texas Cycling Club. From the family friendly 10 miler to the challenging 80 mile loop, all routes offer a unique ride through the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country.

As both a student organization and competitive sports team, the club seeks to promote the sport of cycling on campus and facilitate rider development. Our team competes at the division I regional and national levels, the highest levels achievable for collegiate cyclists, and provides an introduction to bike racing for many students. Our club also stays involved in the community through bike safety clinics and charity events.

The Sweatin' Burnt Orange Bike Tour will again include routes from 10 to 80 miles weaving through the Texas Hill Country. The 80 mile route includes a stop in the famous Luckenbach Texas and all routes feature challenging hills and beautiful vistas. It's an incredible Texas riding experience that'll leave you Sweatin' Burnt Orange!
