IT'S JONATHAN's & STEVE's BIRTHDAY-----
So we're doing a 68+ mile ride for their birthdays!! Come ride with us and help celebrate this milestone (or is it a millstone?) for Steve & Jonathan!! (we'll do lunch after the ride also)----
There is a shorter 47 mile route (1483 ft. of climbing & 2 store stops available) for those who would like to start with the Birthday Boys, but ride a shorter distance!!
The RIDEwithGPS link for the 47 mile route is: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30370449/edit
This is a very quiet scenic ride thru east Williamson County, starting from Lake Pflugerville (North parking lot).
A quiet, (mostly country roads) ride thru northeast Travis, southeast Williamson, & northwest Bastrop Counties. We'll pedal by Taylor's Murphy Park & Lake, thru "bustling" Thrall, and by the scenic/historic Lawrence Chapel, Cemetery, & Log Cabin. We'll be on many quiet country roads for this mostly flat (only 2145 ft.of climbing--per RidewithGPS).
We'll choose (or do all 3) from Three (3) possible STORE STOPS: at 18 miles (Shell Station in Taylor), at 29 miles (the Food Market in Thrall), and/or at 53 miles (Citgo Station in Coupland).
