Ride Description

A NEW route from a NEW ride start location:  City Hall in Taylor, Texas !!

NOTE:  If coming from the south, a suggestion would be to drive up to Taylor on FM 973 to view the HUGE Samsung Plant's construction site ---it's getting BIGGER every time we go by it !!!

Ride start from City Hall, Taylor, Texas, (corner of E. 4th St. & Porter St):  Starting out going North to Granger before turning east, south & west to return to the start location.  We ride all the way around Granger Lake ! 

We'll be riding from Taylor, up to Granger:  then east by the Granger Reservoir & across the Granger Dam Road  before peddling thru Sandoval, & Thrall on our way back to Taylor.

A quiet scenic NEW route from Taylor's City Hall.  Riding on some "vintage" Williamson County chip-seal roads; so air up your tires accordingly.  

This will be a "B-/C+" no-drop ride.  Please come expecting/capable to ride at a 15.0 - 16.5 mph pace for 54 miles.

Leaving promptly at 6:30 AM.  (Maybe even "roll-out" at 6:28 !)  

QUICK STORE STOPS:  at 14 miles (Granger) & 42 miles (Thrall) 

Just 1475 ft. of climbing, per RIDEwithGPS.

Helmets required on ALL our rides.

 NOTE:  Let's do Lunch after the ride at the Lucky Duck Cafe , (located across 4th St. from City Hall) ?  It is The Good Luck Grills' sister eatery --- same menu !

 

 

Please check this sight on the ride morning,  before you leave home, for any possible cancellation.
