We haven't done this route for a while; so I've put together this slightly modified newer version of an "old staple" ride for us to try-----this is a good Saturday/Sunday route-----to ... moremiss the heavy urban weekday traffic!! I plan for this to be a nice social ride (by our old description; a moderate "B" paced ride, we will regroup at turns as needed).
An urban starting location that will quickly get us into the quiet countryside of northeast Travis Ciounty. We'll actually get to ride on Wall Street!!! We'll be on some familiar quiet country roads as we travel north through Cele and then west and south into Manor on our way back to our start location. We have two (2) possible store stops: at 22 and 38 miles. Only 1620 ft. of climbing (per RIDEwithGPS).
NOTE I: Helmets are required on ALL Bike Austin Rides.
NOTE II: I don't have maps of this veriation, but Q-sheets will be provided and the RIDEwithGPS version is attached for electrionic downloading.
NOTE III: Starting from the corner of Centre Creek Dr. & Centre Park Dr. (See detail start location map attached.----parking on the street & NO restroom facilities are at this start location)
Please arrive, with you and your bike ready to ride 51 miles, in time for a 8:50 AM ride start meeting so we can roll promptly at 9:00 AM.

DESCRIPTION: One of our very best urban rides. The views over the Hill Country and the Downtown from City Park Road make the climbs worthwhile. Some roads with moderate traffic.
AVERAGE SPEED: 14 - 16 mph. A guide only; actual pace depends on the group and to maintain this average, there will be some significantly faster stretches. This is especially true on this ride due to the terrain.
TERRAIN: Very hilly. Two challenging climbs & a few “walnuts”.

NOTE the early starting time--- This also gets us off of FM 1869 as early as possible---hopefully before most of the heavy traffic!! A new/old country ride from Liberty Hill. ... more
This is a 65 mile route at a "Social B" pace, but may also have a faster " A or A-" group going (hammering?) off the front. This is a variation of the popular Milmor's Man ride from Liberty Hill. This route is modified from an earlier riding route, while maintaining a very scenic ride, to: a) minimize the riding time on FM 1869 & b) do the CR 284 "rollers" early in the ride instead of at the end of the ride.
After riding west on FM 1869 for 1.5 miles, we'll be on some scenic quiet country roads going west through Oatmeal on our way to Burnet.
We return east back through Oatmeal making an elongated figure 8. We'll stay north of FM 1869 on the way home doing a slightly flatter ride than the numerous "rollers" south on CR 284 (we ride those rollers on the way out to Oatmeal). The store stop is in Burnet at 37 miles. Total climbing is just under 2340 ft. according to RIDEwithGPS.
NOTE I: Helmets are required on ALL bike Austin rides.
NOTE II: I don't have maps, but Q-Sheets will be provided and the RIDEwithGPS versions are attached for electronic downloading.
NOTE III: Please arrive with you & your bike ready to ride 65 miles in time for a 7:45 AM ride start meeting so we can be rolling PROMPTLY at 8:00 AM. Bring plenty of drink & food for the ride distance.
NOTE IV: Start Location is the Liberty Hill Elemenmtary School on Loop 332. (No restroom facilities at ride start).
Lunch after the ride, for those interested (all are invited), at the Liberty Hill Corner Market/Deli.
Be sure and check this posting early ride morning for any possible weather cancellation.

Ride leader Bo Lora I work at Amazon at the Domain so I figured, why not do a ride from there?
So come join me to get a good workout and get out in the fresh ... morecountry air. We will ride 93 miles, just short of a century from the Domain. We will head out of town through Howard Lane where we will ride the new extension which has a nice beautiful new bike lane and it is smooth and rolling. From there we will head out to Manor and our first stop. We will ride mostly downhill as we make our way to Bastrop and our second stop then we turn west toward Austin through the little town of Cedar Creek. We will ride by the F1 track, through Burleson road to the east side to make our last stop at an HEB then make our way back to the domain.
The total climbing: under 3000 ft. We will ride at a 14-17mph pace.
We'll have a minimum of 4 store stops (more if needed): at 15, 38, 59 & 80 miles.
Please bring with you (bring plenty to eat/drink) and your bike ready (with lights) to ride 93 miles, in time for sign-in and to participate in a 7:20 AM riders' meeting so we can roll PROMPTLY at 7:30 AM for the benefit of this long ride.
NOTES:
I won't have maps of this course or printed Q-sheets. The RideWithGPS route is attached for electronic downloading and you can also print map and Q-sheets from there.
