No touring cycling but I have seen a lot regions around me on bike.
- All over the central Texas area.
- Houston, TX area and a trip from Houston to Austin (180 miles) twice
- Fort Davis, Texas- extreme west Texas and some of our only mountains. One of my favorite rides ever. Goes through a desert but because of the mountains the temperature is milder than expected. Practically no traffic even on a national holiday.
- Little Rock, Arkansas and surrounding areas. Riding the Big Dam Bridge Century completely changed my notion of Arkansas
- San Angelo, TX. This ride was a surprise as you think in West Texas you get flatlands but it is hilly. Another unique area, very pretty in a surprising way.
- Toas/Questa/Eagle Nest/Red River, NM- the Enchanted Circle. Grueling and yet enchanting.

- Far Northeast TX (Tyler)- another beautiful region of our state called the Pineywoods. Hilly and in a forest, great cycling.
- Hunstville, TX in the Sam Houston National Forest. One of my favorite areas I have rode, just rolling beautiful land.
- Brazos Valley, TX. This is where I started cycling and is an unknown pleasant area to ride.
We have plans to ride in all 50 states over our lives. So far we are only at 3 but it is a start.
Texas should count as multiple states though. I still haven't rode in the Panhandle, Dallas, Coastal area or far south Texas (although Concan is pretty far south). We also hope to see at least part of Canada and will do some sort of cycling.
