DESCRIPTION: An urban ride that manages to avoid any serious hills in spite of being on the NW side of town EXCEPT Rain Creek.

A "Little" Longer Weekend Ride----. Bring some Carrots for the Donkeys!!
This is a very quiet scenic ride thru east Williamson County, starting from Lake Pflugerville (North parking lot). A quiet, (mostly country roads) ride thru northeast Travis, southeast ... moreWilliamson, & northwest Bastrop Counties. We'll pedal by Taylor's Murphy Park & Lake, thru "bustling" Thrall, and by the scenic/historic Lawrence Chapel, Cemetary, & log cabin. We'll plan for a quick visit with "The Friendly Donkeys" on the way home thru Coupland --- bring some "snacks" for the donkeys!! We'll be on many quiet country roads for this mostly flat (only 1892 ft. of climbing--per RidewithGPS). We'll have TWO STORE STOPS: at 28 miles (the Food Market in Thrall) and at 53 miles (Citgo Station in Coupland).

Coffee and conversation afterwards at Mozart's.
Because of the in-town stretches, this ride agerages about 15. That's the average speed your computer will show after the ride, with stoplights, turns, hills, etc. But to average 15 you need to ride 15-18 most of the time on the flats, so please come expecting that.

Yes, that's right - a fat burner ride: long and steady, no sprints. Those 8 pounds from Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years are still there, so it's time for long miles. Not long HARD ... moremiles, just long miles, so this time we're doing 55 miles on one of our usual routes. Longer rides later. No drop; we'll regroup if necessary anywhere the group can get split, and refuel at the Kyle Valero station. C pace home again. Coffee and conversation afterwards at Mozart's.

A moderate C-pace ride (roughly 11 to 14 mph) on The Southern Walnut Creek Trail from the trailhead at Govalle Park to the Abrupt End and return. Round trip is about 20 miles. The trail is paved for the entire distance, with a 1/2 mile hill on the outbound. We'll regroup at the top of the hill on the outbound and at the Abrupt End. The return is mostly downhill. The trail is two-way and narrows down in spots, with a couple of blind corners. Single-file riding and moderate speed on the corners is strongly recommended!
