Ride Description
- One of the classic rides of Texas, mostly on quiet Hill Country roads. Regretfully not a year for bluebonnets and wildflowers but still a scenic ride.
- Over route is 65 miles with slightly more than 3,000 ft of elevation change.
- It is essential that you take a minimum of two water bottles or Camelbac. One store stop at mile 30 in Kerrville.
- This ride is relatively remote route so major mechanicals will be a serious pain. Please make sure your bike is in good mechanical condition and that you have spare tubes, tools etc.
- The Loop road is public but the shoulders/verges are not. It is essential that you honor the rights of the private landholders. Also, be very careful of motorized tourist traffic.
- Optional lunch will be afterward at Woerner Cafe, https://woernerwarehouse.com/ or location TBD
- Most of my rides are for self-confident riders who are comfortable and safe in a group riding situation which could (depending on the route) include pace-line riding, hilly terrain and exposure to urban traffic. Helmets are required.
- Route is posted in RWGPS format and cue sheets are printable from that site.
- Ride will be “no drop”, assuming riders have properly matched themselves to the ride description, average speed and terrain.
- Please arrive early enough to prepare yourself + bike, have the 5-minute safety briefing to be ready for an on-time departure. Drive time from Austin is approximately 2 hours. We will plan to meet in the Fredericksburg High School parking (HS is on Spring Break next week)
- In case of inclement weather, check this web site early on the morning of the ride.
