Taking over for William on this ride. This is more or less his classic City Park ride where we go up Lakewood (or Beauford, if you like) and then over to City Park Road, Westminster ... moreGlen, Big View, 620, etc. On the way back, we turn on Centennial (to get off Anderson Mill Rd) and wind our way back to Jollyville with a few new twists and turns in between. There is an option at Floral Park to go right and do a few more hills or keep going on Jollyville straight to the Starbucks finish. This is a fairly hilly ride, so be prepared to climb some 15-20% grades.

Starting at the Elementary School in Bertram, we'll head north toward Joppa, make a swing by Blacks Fort and the continue ... moreon to Lampasas. Mid-point store stop in Lampasas to refuel before we head south for the return leg. Optional water stop in Lake Victor on the return (mile 44). Low traffic and bucolic vistas make this one of my favorite routes. Well worth the drive. Expect moderate rollers with 2500 ft of climbing and classic Texas chip seal. There is a 45 mile option with a water stop in Lake Victor, no store stop.
Helmets are mandatory. Plan to arrive by 7:45AM to sign-in, get ready, and participate in the safety briefing. The ride departs at 8:00AM sharp. Fuel and facilities stop at the midpoint. Minimum of 2 bottles or hydration pack required. This is a hosted ride for the 64 mile route.
