Ride Description
  • Urban ride.   Some great views. Some punchy hills. (Rockmoor, Foothill Parkway, Mount Barker, Mounte Vista, Perry, North Hills)
  • There is construction happening across from my house.  I suggest parking a few houses away.
  • Be careful:
    1. Steep downhill on West Lynn to 6th.
    2. 6th to Lake Austin Blvd crossing Mopac entrance and exit. 
    3. Far West crossing Mopac - very steep/short section at the top getting on the path.
  • Store stop: as needed
  • Lunch/coffee: We could stop at the Brentwood Social House (~22 miles - right on Arroyo Seco), The Violet Crown Coffee Shop (~23 miles - on Woodrow) or Epoch Coffee on North Loop at the end.
  • 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 mandatory on all my rides. 
  • Routes will be posted in RWGPS format. Printed maps or cue sheets will not be available at the ride start.
  • Ride will be “no drop”, assuming riders have properly matched themselves to the ride description, average speed and terrain.
  • Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to prepare yourself + bike, have the 5-minute safety briefing to be ready for an on-time departure.
  • In case of inclement weather, check this web site early on the morning of the ride.
