A Late January Ride!! Bundle-Up Accordingly!! Join us for this new/old route in the relatively flat expanses of east Central Texas. A nice Hutto ride going north to Granger, then heading ... moreeast to cross the scenic Granger Dam (stopping for a photo op?), returning to Hutto thru Taylor. We'll ride through the quiet farm/ranch lands of northeast Williamson County. We'll travel on some quiet country roads (some are "vintage" chip seal and a little bumpy---air up your ties accordingly!) doing a steady "B" paced (14-17 mph) no-drop ride, with re-grouping as needed at the next turn.
With the forecasted cool weather, we can choose from (or stop at both) 2 store stops: in Granger at 22 miles & in Taylor (the Shell across from Murphy Park) at 45 miles. Total climbing is under 1400 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.

It's raining -- ride canceled
We will ride down the east side of town to McKinney Falls, then come back on the west side. Most of the route is on bike lanes and/or quiet streets, but there is some urban riding. ... moreThere 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 some riders. The average speed will be 13-15 mph, with perhaps a couple of intervals of sustained 18-20mph.
This ride starts at the Peddler Bike Shop, 5015 Duval St Austin, Tx 78751. Please arrive 10 minutes before ride start for sign-in and safety briefing. This is a no drop ride and we will regroup at turns and hilltops as necessary. Contact Fran Gale, frangale226@gmail.com or 512 431-2631
