Join us for a ride that goes west and northwest from the Peddler past RR 620 to Lime Creek Road and back (unless you are going on to Alaska). There is some urban riding, but most of the ride is in bike lanes or on quiet shady neighborhood streets. This ride is not as hilly as it gets in Austin, but there are several short steep hills that may challenge riders unused to hills.
Average speed will be 13-15 mph, but the group will go faster on flat straightaways. This is a no-drop ride and we will regroup on hills and turns as necessary.
Parking is available north of 51st on Duval and on the side streets around Duval. Please don't park in the alley behind the Peddler and Flight Path Coffeehouse.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for sign-in and route briefing. We will leave promptly at 8:30
Coffee and conversation afterwards at the Flight Path or Home Slice.
Helmets are required on Peddler Bike Austin rides and riders should bring water, emergency identification, and a spare tube. Please leave headphones, speakers, and earbuds at home.
