Daylight Savings Time Starts TODAY-----Let's try this Sunday---trying for better weather-- (temp./wind/sun)!!Ride start is from Berry Spings Park outside of Georgetown. Meet in the back near the pavillions and restrooms. Route passes through greater Walburg, New Corn Hill and downtown Schwertner on our way to Bartlett. This is a flat route with quiet roads, but does include some classic Texas chip seal. Air your tires accordingly. Join us for this new/old route in the relatively flat expanses of east Central Texas. We'll ride through the quiet farm/ranch lands of east Williamson County. We'll travel on some quiet country roads doing a steady "B" paced (14-16 mph) no-drop ride, with re-grouping as needed at the next turn.
We'll have our store stop in Bartlett at 28 miles. Total climbing is just over
1500 ft. (per RIDEwithGPS)
NOTE I: I do not have maps of this route, but good Q-sheets will be provided and the
RIDEwithGPS link is provided here for downloading.
NOTE II: Helmets are required on
ALL Bike Austin rides.
Come with your equipment ready to ride
50 miles, in time to get signed-in and participate in the starter's meeting at
8:45 AM, for a
prompt roll-out at
9:00 AM. Let's all hope for the (as forecasted) nice calm winds & mild temps. !!
