This evening bike ride exploring Art in Public Places TEMPO exhibits is beginner and B-Cycle friendly. We'll adjust the route to be between 4 and 10 miles with 2 or 3 stops depending ... moreon the riders in attendance and the heat of the evening. Our targets are art works at the Mexican American Cultural Center, the Carver Library and the Austin Nature Center. We'll meet at Open Room Austin - one of my personal favorites in Austin's public art collection - it's the Alice in Wonderland-looking table with the glowing lights just off the Pfluger Bridge.
I haven't posted a ride for Sept 9, since the Tour de Cure folks have a ride from the Hula Hut to Creedmoor, meeting at 7:30, roll out at 8 a.m. I'll be doing that ride.
This 25-mile intermediate ride will visit 5 of the Art in Public Places TEMPO exhibits at these locations: Carver Library, Mexican-American Cultural Center, Pleasant Valley Library, ... moreManchaca Library and the Austin Nature Center. The ArtRides TEMPO South Route includes climbs out of downtown first on 11th St then on So Congress before a ramble on our favorite Bike Route 31 aka the Hippie Highway. The return route into downtown will be via South Lamar along "low comfort" bike lanes to W Mary St. Please judge your abilities fairly against the route description for the safety and enjoyment of other riders. If the ride is a stretch for you, make plans to ride with us on our evening ride tonight or on Nov 18th for TEMPO Convergence when all the works will be located in East Austin.
Join our regular group of Easy Riders in the rolling country around Elgin. Suitable for advanced beginners, who can ride the stated distance above at an average pace close to our 11 ... moremph minimum, older, social riders or experienced riders wanting a leisurely pace. Group will either meet up at turns, or have individuals mark the turns until the sweep arrives depending on the rider mix. Afterwards, we eat together nearby.
Please note During the summer the rides will be self-organizing amongst the easy riders’ members that show up for the ride. More of a meet up format. Please make sure you are familiar with Bike Austin - Waiver and Release of Liability since you are agreeing to these terms if you ride. A leader and sweep will be selected from the group and either mark turns or wait for the entire group at turns. Also make sure to introduce yourself to other riders.
Take 290 E to Elgin. Go left on Hwy 95 N for 0.1 mile and go through traffic light. Turn right at next street (FM 1100 / Main St).
Go a couple hundred yards and turn left into parking lot of Elgin Memorial park just past sport courts.
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.
Please be sure to arrive a little early for signup and rider's meeting.
BE SURE TO CHECK THIS SITE AFTER 7:00 ON RIDE DAY IN CASE OF RAIN OR DANGEROUSLY HIGH WIND.
START LOCATION: meet (and park) at the back of the "uphill" parking lot across Lake Austin Blvd. from the coffee shop. Look for the old boat on your left up the hill; we're near there.
Burn off yesterday's turkey and all the other bits!! No drop; regroup after stoplights or anywhere the group can get split, and after each hot spot; and refuel at the Creedmoor Valero ... morestation. C pace home again. 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.
Please be sure to arrive a little early for signup and rider's meeting.

A moderate C-pace ride (roughly 11 to 14 mph) on The Southern Walnut Creek Trail from Govalle Park to the Abrupt End and return. Round trip is about 20 miles. The trail is paved for ... morethe entire distance, with a 1/2 mile hill on the outbound. We'll regroup periodically on the outbound and at the Abrupt End. The return is mostly downhill. And you might even see Lance flashing by.
The trail is two-way and narrows down in spots, with a couple of blind corners. Single-file riding and moderate speed on the turns is recommended!
There are two significant road intersections that require caution to cross.
A map of Govalle Park's location is at http://austinparks.org/parks/govalle-park/
Bring water, a snack, a spare bicycle tire tube, and tools to fix a flat. Riders will sign a liability waiver at the ride start and must wear a helmet.
There are no restrooms on the trail itself. There are restrooms at Govalle Park and at the Austin Tennis Center, about 1/3 mile off the trail.

This is a no drop ride 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 identification. Please leave headphones and earbuds at home.
