Brisk pace ride, with regular regroup points, and a few hot spot" sprint points: Akins High school hilltop, Creedmoor run-in on SR1327, and the return on Old Lockhart Rd to Slaughter ... moreLane intersection. No drop; we'll regroup after stoplights or anywhere the group can get split, and after each hot spot; and refuel at the Creedmoor Valero station.

Because of the in-town stretches, this ride averages about 15 mph. That's the average speed your computer will show after the ride, with stoplights, turns, hills, etc. But to average 15 you need to ride 16-18 most of the time on the flats, so please come expecting that.

Please be sure to arrive 10 minutes early for rider's meeting and to meet newcomers. If you arrive at 7:31 you may find an empty parking lot.

We'll do a steady "B+" paced ride--(14-17 MPH); with some short intervals getting up to 18+ MPH.

Please arrive, and be ready to ride 45-60 miles, in time for a 8:45 AM riders meeting so we can roll from Lake Pflugerville promptly at 9:00 AM.

DESCRIPTION: Urban streets at the beginning and end but the middle is the really pretty Volente Loop that goes down to Lake Travis (with all our rain this year, it really does exist). We do this counter-clockwise which is the easier option.

AVERAGE SPEED: 15 to 17 mph. A guide only; actual pace depends on the group and to maintain this average, there will be some significantly faster stretches.

TERRAIN: Flat to rolling with one “real” hill + a couple of Walnuts.
