You'll get more up to date and relevant info by following bike club pages on Facebook in every area you'd like to ride.

Sure, Google will suggest stuff like the Hotter'N Hell Hundred in Texas, but the heat is often brutal, especially for folks who aren't adapted to summer day rides in Texas.

But if you follow or join various Facebook group pages for cycling around Texas, you'll get updates on less publicized but equally fun century rides, and possibly more fun because the crowds won't be insane. Try getting a motel room near Wichita Falls the week of the HNHH.

For starters, check out Spinistry (mostly light gravel rides, not hardcore off roading), Fort Worth Bicycling Association and many others that sponsor long distance rides year 'round so you can choose a season compatible with your preference for weather and temperature.

There are zillions of similar clubs in every state. Once you start following one, Facebook with automagically suggest others. That's how I found my niche and favorite groups of cycling friends when I resumed cycling in 2015. I started following one cycling page and FB began to suggest others. After trying several I found my people and many have become real friends as well.
