From a cowboy boot in '86 to bluebonnets and the water tower in '26 — but the ride? Still those same gorgeous Texas back roads.
Forty years ago, finishers earned the shirt on the left: Tour of Italy Texas, one very proud boot-and-spur, and 100% cotton charm.
This June, every rider earns the one on the right — our 40 Years Strong anniversary tech tee. Moisture-wicking, Lone Star proud, and not for sale anywhere. The only way to get one is to pin on a number and ride.

Four decades later, the part that matters hasn't budged: every pedal stroke still supports charities - Italy High School and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.

📍 Italy, TX • Saturday, June 20 8:00am
🚴 Pick your distance: 12, 30, 42, 55, or 65 miles
👕 Register and the anniversary tee is yours — while sizes last!

We already ordered the shirts. Now we just need YOU in one of them.

The Tour d'Italia turns 40 this June, and we'd love to see you at the start line in Italy, Texas on Saturday, June 20. Register NOW!

For four decades, riders from across the state have rolled out of Italy High School at 8:00 AM sharp — pacelines forming up, the 12-miler filling with families, the fast group already plotting their move on the TX-22 stretch. Some of you have been here for thirty of those years. Some of you are coming for the first time. Both are exactly right.

Five routes (12 to 65 miles), the same volunteer-run rest stops you remember, a brand-new 40th anniversary jersey from Peak One Sports, and every dollar still going where it always has: Italy High School and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.

$50 through May 31. Tag the riding buddy who's been doing this with you for a decade. Or the one who keeps saying they'll do it 'next year.' This is next year.

THE 40th TOUR d'ITALIA IS COMING!!!!
Saturday, June 20, 2026. Italy, Texas. You, a bicycle, and a ridiculous amount of pickle juice. It's going to be a whole thing. Register now!!!

Registration is $50 through May 31 at tourditalia.org. On June 1 it goes to $55 — which is fine, but that's also five bucks you could spend on something more important, like an extra Clif Bar or post-ride therapy after attempting the 65-miler in 95-degree heat. Your call.

Pick your flavor of suffering: We’ll have five routes ranging from a sociable 12-mile family loop, to the full 65-mile TDI experience for the long-haul faithful.

Every rider gets a 40th anniversary tech tee. Every rest stop is loaded with goodies and when you roll in, we’ll be ready for you at the finish with snow cones, popcorn, and pickle juice. Every dollar supports Italy High School and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.

🏨 Coming from out of town? Book your hotel yesterday — the World Cup is in DFW and rooms are vanishing.
Forty years of rolling countryside, sketchy tailwinds, and finish-line high-fives. Don't miss this one.
