tkeith.benton@gmail.comDESCRIPTION: This is a classic Hill Country ride, mainly on pretty, un-trafficked roads. No killer hills although there is a fair amount of cumulative climbing. There are two short stretches on FM 2325 (single file) to include a store stop in Wimberley. May be higher traffic in Wimberley if on first Saturday (Market Day).
AVERAGE SPEED: 15-17 mph. A guide only; actual pace depends on the group and to maintain this average, there will be some significantly faster stretches.
TERRAIN: Hilly
RIDE START ADDRESS AND url: Lake Lucy Loop (off Roger Hanks Pkwy.) one mile east of RR12 in Dripping Springs. https://goo.gl/maps/jbfVdy1J4y92

OTHER:
Helmets are mandatory on all my rides.
Ride will be “no drop” but only assuming riders have properly matched themselves to the ride description, average speed and terrain.
Please arrive early enough to prepare yourself + bike, have the 5-minute safety briefing to be ready for an on-time departure.
In case of inclement weather, check this web site and/or my emails early on the morning of the ride.
POST RIDE: Following the ride optional lunch at Rolling In Thyme & Dough in Dripping Springs. We plan to join William Hudson and the riders from the Double Popsicle ride. Stop by for a sandwich, soup, salad or special of the day but be prepared to wait – our food is fresh food, not fast food!"
We also have a Google Group (Austin and Central Texas Cycling) in which we discuss upcoming rides and miscellaneous cycling stuff. Email me (address above) if interested in joining – you can always unsubscribe yourself if you later decide you have no interest.
