SATURDAY September 10, 2016 - Ride leader Bo Lora
September's opportunity to earn your Strava Grand Fondo badge and rack up another century.
This time we head along the back roads south of Martindale as we head southwest to Bucee's. We cross under 35 into the newley reconstructed 306 with bike lanes to make our way to beautiful Gruene. We then follow along the beautiful River road as we make our way up to the Canyon Lake dam and go north to the Devil's Backbone road. We will take a quick break at the top of the Devil's Backbone lookout point. We then come south down Purgatory Road and make our way back to Martindale the same way we came.
Start location: Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic
312 Co Rd 259, Martindale, TX 78655
