Fair Oaks Ranch
Hello, I will be visiting my sister in April and am bringing a bike along. Any suggestions for low traffic routes to ride, and things to see?

Hey Bandara, Thank you
Google mapped the route and works out to be 29.9 miles round trip to / from sisters house. looks like fun and a reasonable ride.

Don't get caught in the big ring as you enter Cielo Vista from the access road....
Enjoy.

I don't like riding on Ralph Fair. It is not what I would consider low traffic at all. High speed limit and little or no shoulder. I would instead ride out the north end onto Ammann Road, then ride east over to Blanco Rd. Head south to Specht, cross to Bulverde Ln then north up to Bulverde Rd, back west to Ammann and back across Ammann Rd. Much quieter roads for the most part.

I have never ridden my bike south of I-10 in that area, so I wouldn't know. I am from Houston, so W and E Ammann Road and Blanco are plenty hilly for me.

As always, suit yourself.

Well, in my defense, he didn't ask for "insanely hilly", he asked for "low traffic" routes. Not everybody looking for a place to ride is looking to punish themselves...

If "low traffic" is the primary consideration from FOR South through Boerne Stage Rd. one can choose between Ralph Fair Rd. and the IH-10 access road. Easy choice, and neither are Houston congested, as always ride a straight line.
Welcome to the edge of the Hill Country.

Thank you, Bandera and txags92. I will try riding both suggested routes ( not on the same day tho ) My sister has plans to drive me several places, and the bro in law has ideas too. I might be too busy to ride much! Tim
