2021 Tour de Boerne - Drone View of Riders at Abandoned Iron Railroad Bridge & River Bend Park

This drone video is mostly of the Tour de Boerne 61 mile Riders on River Bend Road, in the area of an old decommissioned iron railroad bridge, plus the rest stop just down the road from the bridge.

Tour de Boerne 2021 is a bike ride that will take you through the beautiful Texas Hill Country. It starts and finishes at the Don Strange Ranch, here in Kendall County. Towns included in the routes are Boerne, Waring, Welfare, Luckenbach, Sisterdale, and Comfort. You will be challenged along the way and welcomed back to Don Strange Ranch for a BBQ meal, cold craft beer and great conversation. Oh the stories we will tell! Some may be “fish stories” but all will be enjoyed!

Tour de Boerne is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to giving back to those in the Boerne community who are in need.
