OASIS BREWING COMPANY RIDE – Saturday September 20^th at 7:30am at Cups & Cones

This Saturday we have a special ride that I hope will be the first of a regular monthly ride.  We are going to do about a 50 mile ride that will start from Cups & Cones and will end at the Oasis Brewing Company.  Another special treat is that this Saturday is the first day of Oktoberfest the Oasis Brewing Co will be featuring a seasonal brew and the Noble Pig will offer a special German menu.

Both the brewery and Noble Pig will be open for us so we can roll in whenever we want.  The first beer will only be $1 if you are in spandex.  We can bring our bikes up to the deck too.  Oasis Brewing Co is located where Uncle Billy’s use to be.

As always there will be an A Group that will average 18 – 20 mph over the entire ride and there will be a B Group that will average 15 – 17 mph.  Both groups don’t have designated sweepers so you should have a certain level of fitness to keep up with the respective group.

The route we will be taking is below:

JACK & ADAMS / STEAKHOUSE RIDE – Sunday September 21^stt at 8:30am at Cups & Cones

On Sunday June 22, 2014 the Steiner Ranch Cycling Club will be riding on the Jack & Adams / Steiner Ranch Steakhouse Ride.  The ride begins from the Steakhouse and leaves promptly at 8:30am so we recommend that you arrive at 8:00am.

The ride goes out to Crystal Falls golf course and back and there is a beginner, intermediate and advanced ride. There are two distances and one is about 12 miles and the other is about 32 miles. They have changed the ½ priced brunch menu and they have gone to an all you can eat buffet. I don’t know if they will be offering the group any discounts but there will still be live music and it should be a nice morning to sit under the mister and enjoy the music, food and view. Come one come all.

TOUR DE CURE IS HERE!  For those participating in the ride we look forward to seeing you at the dinner at the Oasis at 6pm on Thursday September 11, 2014.  The meal is sponsored by Texas Beef Council for all Team Beef Riders.  Guests are welcomed for $20 which can be paid for at the door.

While this is not a race it is fun to note that Team Beef / SRC riders came in 2nd place for the 100 miler!  What will happen this year?

WEEKENDS RIDES

Tour de Cure – Saturday September 13^th at Reunion Ranch.  100 Miler roles out at 7am.

This Saturday most people will be participating in the Tour de Cure ride.  There will be plenty of food and drink after the ride.  The ride will be fully supported as well and we are expecting cooler weather this weekend which will be nice.

Next time you see Thomas Lea congratulate him for being the top fund raiser on Team Beef which has 67 riders.  Other SRC riders that made the TOP 10 include John Nadolski, Robert Brown and Bill Foster.  The Team raised $21,032 this year for the American Diabetes Association and finding a cure for Type I diabetes and educating those with Type II on how to manage or even cure their condition.

For those that are not riding I’m sure if you show up at C&C at 7:30am there will be some people there that will do a local ride.

COFFEE SHOP RIDE – Sunday September 14^th at 7:30am at Cups & Cones

Join us this Sunday for the SRC Coffee Shop Ride!  This is for those wanting to explore options outside of Steiner Ranch or those wanting a nice social/recovery ride.

The group will leave C&C at 7:30 like the other Sunday ride groups, but will target some not-too-far coffee shop for some espresso, biscotti, and socialization.  The ride will average around 15-17 mph and should be perfect for those looking for a recovery ride or to extend their range out of Steiner.  Each week we will pick a different destination, but they would typically be around 15 miles from C&C.  This is a no-drop ride, but you should be able to ride 30-40 miles at a 15-17 mph pace.

BABES (and BROS) on BIKES / RECOVERY RIDE – Sunday September 14^th at 8:30am at Cups & Cones

Come join us for the Sunday social Babes (and Bros) on Bikes / Recovery Ride.   This user-friendly ride is intended for beginners looking to gain some experience and/or riders wanting a later start or easy Sunday cruise.  Riders meet at Cups & Cones for ‘wheels down’ at 8:30​am. This is a ‘no drop’ ride, meaning the group stays together, within the neighborhoods of Steiner Ranch.  The route and pace is customized to the level of riders who show up.  In general, you can expect a mostly flat course, about 1 hour long varying from 10-20 miles.  There will be optional hill climbs for those wanting an extra challenge, and to help beginners set riding goals.  You will learn the basics of bicycle safety, riding technique, equipment recommendations, but mostly, you will meet new friends and have FUN!  All are welcome!  Hope to see you there!
