Ride is on. Going to be chiily.
Posting Drippingsprings to Blanco again. Last time we had issue with crossing Blanco on Red Coral Ranch Rd. checked last Friday and it was dry (see picture) assuming recent rains will ... morenot change status.
Forecast looks good but a bit cooler, so dress accordingly.
Not been riding so not planning on a agressive ride other than having to get over the hills.
Very much an out and back route only overlaps with our usual Dripping to Wimberly ride a for a few miles at the start. We hit some great country roads "Red Coral Ranch rd" and '"Chimney Valley rd" which parrallel the Blanco for a number of miles. A stretch into Blanco ~5 miles on FM165 where we need to go single file but should be fine for a Sunday ride.
Overall about 2800ft of climbing but mainly rolling no really step sections. Not planning on a killer pace and lots of easy re-group points at the major junctions.
One store stop in Blanco at the turn around point.
We can discuss lunch options after the ride if anyone is interested.
For those of you who want a Strava link see path below.

Avoids water crossings for the most part a few on "Red Chimney ranch rd" but easy to spot and unlikely to be an issue.

Expect some wind.
Join us for an out and back with a loop at the end in the countryside around Manor. We travel mostly on rural roads, with some easy urban riding getting into and out of town. Terrain ... moreis rolling farmland, with one or two short steep hills. The average speed will be 14-15 mph, but there will some sustained stretches of 15-20 mph. This is a no drop ride for anyone who can ride at a speed close to the posted pace and we will regroup at turns and hilltops as necessary. Distance may vary by a mile or two depending on how much we decide to use the Walnut Creek Bike Trail.
Riders should bring helmets, water, spare tube, and emergency identification. Please leave headphones, loudspeakers and earbuds at home.
Parking is available north of 51st on Duval and on side streets around the Peddler. Please don't park in the alley behind the Peddler and The Flight Path Coffee House.
We will leave promptly at 8:30. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for sign in and ride orientation.

8:15 start
We will leave the Peddler at 8:15 and ride to Mozart's to meet up with Stanton's Sunday recovery and social ride at 9. We will ride with Stanton's group for an hour or an hour and ... morea half, at least until we arrive in the Shoal Creek and 45th street area. From there, we will either return to the Peddler or ride a few more miles. The exact route has not been determined, but I expect that at least half of the route will be on city streets. There will be a coffee stop along the way or at the end. Tis the season to be flexible.
Average speed will likely be in the 13's or 14's, but there may be some sustained intervals of 15-20. This is a no drop ride, and we will regroup at corners and hills as necessary.
Riders should bring helmets, water, spare tube, and emergency insurance info. Please leave headphones, earbuds, and boom boxes at home.
Parking is available on Duval Street north of 51st and on the side streets off Duval. Please don't park in the alley behind the Peddler and the Flight Path Coffe House.
