RIDE NAME AND DISTANCE: Volente Popsicle; 41 miles.
DATE/TIME: Thursday June 7th @ 7:30 am
RIDE LEADER/CONTACT: William Hudson. 210-387-7340. WilliamPedalsOn@gmail.com
DESCRIPTION: Urban streets at the beginning and end but the middle is the really pretty Volente Loop that goes down to Lake Travis (with all our rain this year, it really does exist). We do this counter-clockwise which is the easier option.
AVERAGE SPEED: 15 to 17 mph. A guide only; actual pace depends on the group and to maintain this average, there will be some significantly faster stretches.
TERRAIN: Flat to rolling with one “real” hill + a couple of Walnuts.
RIDE START ADDRESS AND url: Starbucks @ the Arboretum. 9722 Great Hills Trail #380, Austin, TX 78759. https://goo.gl/maps/6nW5iH3XgFq Please try not to impede commercial business parking.
