June 14th [Avery Ranch] and June 15th [Social] Rides!

Jester King Ride 2014!
Jester King Ride 2014!

Saturday was the Jester King Brewery II ride.  We had a really good turn out and a number of clubs turn out for the ride.  The weather was nice and the food and brews were good.

Sunday was the Steiner Ranch social ride and only Thomas showed up.  The warm rain must have scared everyone away except the hard core riders.

The pub crawler ride is tomorrow (Wednesday) evening and it is going to be awesome!  Hopefully it is so fun that we organize another one in the near future so the ones that could not partake get another opportunity.  I’m sure pictures and stories will be plentiful.

NEXT WEEKENDS RIDES

AVERY RANCH RIDE – Saturday June 14th at7:30am at Cups & Cones

On Saturday the Steiner Ranch Cycling Group will be heading out for an approximately 55+ mile bike ride.  The standard AVERY RANCH ride is going to be fairly flat and fast.  We will do our best to keep the group together but you will need to have a certain level of riding experience and conditioning to stay with the main group or else you may get left behind.  There is no designated sweeper for our Saturday ride.

There will be an A and B group so everyone should have a group they should comfortably be able to ride with.

The route are as follows:

Jester King All Clubs Ride
Jester King Brewery All Clubs Ride

Saturday it was reported that at least 7 SRC riders attended the Altas Ride and I heard it was a nice ride with the only complication being the delayed arrival of bicycles. About 14 showed up for the Dam Loop ride from the C&C.

Sunday we had a big group for the Tour de Cure kick off bike ride which left the Hula Hut. Breakfast and lunch was served. If you have not joined our team please do so at the following link. There are distances ranging from 12 to 100 miles. http://main.diabetes.org/goto/TeamBeef

JESTER KING  BREWERY ALL CLUBS RIDE– Saturday June 7th at 8:30am

We would like to invite you to join us for the JESTER KING BREWERY RIDE II.   This JESTER KING BREWERY RIDE is a FREE ride that originally started by Steiner Ranch Cycling and TRG with the spirit of bringing Austin cycling clubs together for a fun ride and then some pizza and beer. The more the merrier so invite anyone you wish.   The ride is 55 miles and starts and finishes at the Jester King Brewery. The ride will begin at 8:30am and it will be an out and back from Jester King Brewery on Fitzhugh Road to Johnson City and back. There are no turns so there is no way you should get lost even if you are directionally challenged. All intermediate and experienced riders are welcomed and we ask you to wear your club Jersey. We will have a really quick announcement before the ride regarding the route, safety and we will want to give an opportunity for all the clubs to shout out their club affiliation. Please spread the word about this ride to any clubs you might think would be interested in this ride. The route for the bike ride is as follows: http://goo.gl/maps/0nGRD Again, the ride will be about 55 miles with about 4,000 feet of climbing. Average speeds will range from 12 mph up to 21 mph. If you don’t want to ride the full 55 miles you can turn back at any point. To get directions to Jester King or learn more about the brewery please visit http://jesterkingbrewery.com/contact/ It can be a little tricky to find so please try to get there a little early. We will have people standing outside but there are two entrances but only one of them will get you into the staging area.
