The American Legion Post 0671 is having a charity ride and run on 4th August 2018 in Hutchinson County, Texas. Since this our first time doing an even like this we would appreciate ... moreany help or advice you might want to provide. The Attachments contains our Registration Form. We are having 4 Bicycle Routes of which the 13 mile would be easy, 10 miles of that is kind of a warm up for the other three which should be consider moderate because of climbing up out of creek and river bottoms. We are also going to have a competition of the 52 mile and 92 miles rides if we get enough interest. We would need 10 rides minimum in each race and this just a fun race with some prize money. There is also the fact that this area is well known for its wind and heat factor. Should be good training for Burning Vernon and Hotter N Hell Rides.

NOTE the early starting time----we have entered the "beat-the-heat" mode now!!! This also gets us off of FM 1869 as early as possible---hopefully before most of the heavy traffic!! ... moreA new/old country ride from Liberty Hill.
The 65 mile route will be be at a "Social B" paced group, 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. These routes are 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 or Bertram.
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 2550 ft. according to RIDEwithGPS.
NOTE I: Helmets are required on ALL bike Austin rides.
NOTE II: I don't have maps, but Q-Sheets (for both rides) will be provided and the RIDEwithGPS versions are attached for electronic downloading.

This is the standard South Austin route to Buda and then returning. This ride is no-drop and the pace will average 14ish mph so be sure you can maintain that ride pace. No drop means that we regroup periodically and will stop as a group for minor mechanical problems such as flats or thrown chains; major problems will require AAA or the equivalent. There is a virtual route map at www.mapmyride.com
Regular bikes welcome, recumbents worshipped. The usual post ride fare and smack talk at Maria's Taco Xpress, an Austin institution.
Ride starts from Bicycle Sport Shop at 517 South Lamar Blvd. You can email me at mistertax@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
Note earlier start time of 7:30 AM! Moderate paced ride with a couple of fast parts. No drop with regular regroup points. In recognition of our friend, Louis Mestier, and to wish ... morehim well as he begins his journey off to the wild, wild west, we will start this ride at 7:30 and then ride the 20 minutes over to Bicycle Sport Shop on South Lamar to connect with Louis and his group, then we'll ride with them out through South Austin to the Buda turnaround. Then off to Creedmoor to complete the usual course - this should add about 4 miles to the regular course. (Or, if you wish, back to Austin with Louis' group for one final fling at Maria's but then you'll have to make your way back to Mozart's with a tummy full of tacos).
Traditional course from Lake Austin through South Austin, Old San Antonio Road and eventually over to FM 1327 (or other back roads) to Creedmoor, then back to the city via Old Lockhart Road. 45 miles.

This southern route to Manor starts at the Peddler Bike Shop. We ride on 51st to the Bike Trail and then take Loyola Lane to Johnny Morris Road and on to Daffan and Lindell Lane. From ... moreLindell Lane, we head south on Blue Bluff then east to Taylor Lane. After a nice downhill stretch on Parsons Road, we turn left on Littig Road and ride into Manor. Our return route is on the Walnut Creek bike trail to Johnny Morris and then through neighborhood streets to the Peddler. The terrain is mostly rolling hills with some short climbs. With some in-town riding, we'll average 13-15 mph, but there will be much faster stretches.

Brisk pace ride, with regular regroup points, and a few hot spot" sprint points: Akins High school hilltop, Creedmoor run-in on SR1327, and the return on Old Lockhart Rd to Slaughter ... moreLane intersection. No drop; we'll regroup after stoplights or anywhere the group can get split, and after each hot spot; and refuel at the Creedmoor Valero station.
Because of the in-town stretches, this ride averages about 15 mph. 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 16-18 most of the time on the flats, so please come expecting that.
Please be sure to arrive 10 minutes early for rider's meeting and to meet newcomers. If you arrive at 7:31 you may find an empty parking lot.
Start Location: meet (and park) at the back of the uphill parking lot across Lake Austin Blvd. from Mozart’s Coffee Roasters http://www.mozartscoffee.com/austin_coffee_location_hours.php Look for the old boat on your left up the hill; we're near there.

Join us for a ride down the east side of town to McKinney Falls and a return on the west side. This variation uses the Montopolis Bridge and Dove Springs Road. It is slightly less ... morehilly. Otherwise it is much like the usual version of our McKinney Falls ride. Most of the route is on bike lanes and/or quiet streets, but there is some urban riding. There are several stretches of rolling hills and/or short moderately steep hills. There are no hills very hard in themselves, but the cumulative effect can be grueling for inexperienced riders or riders who haven't ridden for a while. The average speed will be 13-14 mph, but we will ride faster on straightaways and some riders may break away on the front. This is a no drop ride and we will regroup at turns and hilltops as necessary.
Riders should bring helmets, spare tube, water, and emergency identification. Please leave headphones, loudspeakers, and earbuds at home.
Parking is available on Duval Street north of 51st and on the side streets off Duval. Please don't park in the alley behind the Peddler and Flight Path.
We will leave promptly at 7:30 am. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for sign in and ride instructions.
Coffee and conversation after the ride at the Flight Path or at Home Slice Pizza.
