Work off some of that Turkey we stuffed ouselves with!!! A good south wind country ride for those who may like this option.

NOTE the early starting time--- This also gets us off of FM 1869 as early as possible---hopefully before most of the heavy traffic!! A new/old country ride from Liberty Hill. ... more
This is a 65 mile route at a "Social B" pace, 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. This route is 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.
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 just under 2340 ft. according to RIDEwithGPS.
NOTE I: Helmets are required on ALL bike Austin rides.
NOTE II: I don't have maps, but Q-Sheets will be provided and the RIDEwithGPS versions are attached for electronic downloading.
