Ride Description
  • One of the classic rides of Texas.  Let's hope the bluebonnets are blooming.
  • It is essential that you take a minimum of two large water bottles or Camelbac.  There are no convenience stores per se.  Harry's On the Loop (beer/burgers) is still open (?); the hours are a little unpredictable. The Willow City Volunteer Fire dept. is still there and has a water faucet.
  • This ride is relatively remote so major mechanicals will be a serious pain in the you-know-what.  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 here:  https://woernerwarehouse.com/
  • 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 on all my rides.
  • Routes will be posted in RWGPS format and cue sheets are printable from that site.  I do not distribute printed maps or cue sheets unless requested by email 24 hours in advance.
  • 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.
  • In case of inclement weather, check this web site early on the morning of the ride.
