Join us for our standard ride to Mckinney Falls. The average speed will be 13-15 mph, but on flat straight-a-ways there may be some sustained stretches of 15-20 mph. This is a no drop ... moreride and we will regroup at turns and hilltops as necessary.
Riders should bring helmets, water, spare tube, and identification. Please leave headphones and earbuds at home.
Parking is available north of 51st on Duval and on side streets around the Peddler. Please don't park in the alley behind the Peddler and The Flight Path Coffee House.
We will leave promptly at 8:00am. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for sign in and ride orientation.
Coffee and conversation at the Flight Path after the ride, per usual.
I'm hosting the classic Dripping Springs To Wimberley ride with a few twists. Sorry for the late posting. No low water crossings, so we do not take the first right on Creek road but ... morekeep going and take a right on Prichnow road (sign posted for MT Gyanor lodge).
We will come out and do a left on Purlsley road which will align with the route people are maybe more familar with.
Then right on Mt Sharp road and right again on Mt Sharp road, as opposed to straight on to Pump road, this is a deviation to what people maybe used to but is a beautiful addition and adds some more climbing.
I intend to ride along River road and HW12 to see the best of Wimberly, then a store stop at the usual gas station opposite HEB.
This ride comes in at 56.6 miles and 3000ft so it is not for the novice and
will be ridden at a fairly aggressive pace 16+ average.
I plan to host from the front with re-group points at key junctions.
Unfortunately RWGPS would not co-operate as far as providing a map.
So I only have a Strava link available, which can only be accessed if you have upgraded Strava membership.
I can email a TCX file if you drop me your email.
Please no requests for ride changes at this late date.
Thanks

Sorry for the late posting-----Let's do this "NEW HIP" ride!! I will be walking 1 low water crossing!! This is a much better weekday route; due to the very heavy weekend traffic on ... moreHamilton Pool Road.

Just under 3100 ft. of climbing (per RidewithGPS). We'll have a STORE STOP, in Johnson City, at 33 miles.
