The trail is paved for the entire distance, with a 1/2 mile hill on the outbound. We'll regroup periodically on the outbound and at the Abrupt End. The return is mostly downhill.
The trail is two-way and narrows down in spots. Single-file riding is recommended.
There are two significant road intersections that require caution to cross.

Bring water, a snack, a spare bicycle tire tube, and tools to fix a flat. Riders will sign a liability waiver at the ride start and must wear a helmet.

Let's get out in the fresh air, with some nice scenery, and get a good work-out. This is another new/old route as we'll be riding a new combination of some previously travelled roads! ... moreWe are officially in "Beat-the-Heat " mode.
.
This is the very nice scenic rural ride from northeast Travis County into southwest Williamson County and then through northwest Bastrop County. We'll do a steady "B" pace (14-17 MPH) and re-group at all major turns. We'll travel on some quiet country roads passing a working Donkey Farm ( we'll stop and visit "Dudley" and his friends) and ride by the 8 Point Ranch, home to many exotic animals (Zebra, Antelope, Deer, Buffalo, Elk, etc.). We'll only be doing 1530 ft. of climbing per RIDEwithGPS, but we'll be riding on some "vintage" Williamson & Bastrop county "chip-seal" roads---so air-up your tires accordingly!!
There are 2 possible store stops: 1) at 26 miles in Coupland and, 2) at 45 miles at Doc's Country Store corner of County Line Rd. & US 290.
Note I: I do not have maps, but Q-sheets will be provided and the RidewithGPS route map is attached for electronic downloading.

Chip in $20 per person to cover camping, Sat dinner and Sun breakfast. Additional funds are needed to buy your own lunches and snacks along the route, and contribute to the SAG driver's expenses. Please email leader ( nseldon@ix.netcom.com ) to get more info and reserve your spot.
