Got an "itch" to ride? We'll get to see how the "Big Rooster" is doing this fall as we'll be riding by it's location.. Join us for this new/old route in the relatively flat expanses ... moreof east Central Texas. The Hutto loop takes us through the quiet farm/ranch lands of east Williamson County. We'll travel on some quiet, country roads (some are chip seal and a little bumpy---air up your ties accordingly!) for a no-drop ride, with re-grouping as needed at the next turn. We'll go east and north out of Hutto, riding just northwest of Taylor: then riding by the "Big Rooster" statue. (Maybe a real Texas Chicken Ranch?) We'll continue north, west, and south into Weir. Then we ride south and east from Weir on our way back to Hutto. We'll have a store stop in Weir at 33 miles. Less than 1350 ft. of climbing per RIDEwithGPS.

Work off some of that Turkey we stuffed ouselves with!!! A good south wind country ride for those who may like this option. The course is over some familiar roads through rural northeast ... moreTravis county. Come and join us for this early morning ride. We'll do a moderate (14-16 mph) "B" pace and re-group at the next major turn or top of the climb. We'll start from the Lake Pflugerville north parking lot and head east, then south, climbing Bitting School Rd.& Parsons Rd. hills, then back west, travelling on Nez Perce Trace., Bloor Rd., and Blue Bluff Rd.; coming home thru Manor with the (hopefully) prevailing tail wind.
We'll have a store stop on FM 969 at 32 miles.

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.
NOTE III: Please arrive with you & your bike ready to ride 65 miles in time for a 7:45 AM ride start meeting so we can be rolling PROMPTLY at 8:00 AM. Bring plenty of drink & food for the ride distance.
NOTE IV: Start Location is the Liberty Hill Elemenmtary School on Loop 332. (No restroom facilities at ride start).
Lunch after the ride, for those interested (all are invited), at the Liberty Hill Corner Market/Deli.
Be sure and check this posting early ride morning for any possible weather cancellation.
