This weekend’s rides: Triple Bs! New Route: Lamppost Coffee!

SRC,

Saturday we return to our favorite ladies… the Triple Bs! We are going up them. It is a 61 mile ride and is actually one of the flattest routes we do. The route is here: https://www.strava.com/routes/4732205 but note that we will be riding that route in reverse. After the ride we meet up at Lakeside for some discounted burgers and beer!

Sunday is our usual Coffee Shop ride, but this time we will be trying out a new route (thanks Brad!). It is almost 50 miles and takes us to Lamppost Coffee in Round Rock. The route is here: https://www.strava.com/routes/11554191 . This ride is ‘endurance pace’ and friendly. This means the entire ride should roughly be about 17mph average and we will try to keep everyone together, but it is still classified as a ‘drop ride’. If you cannot hang with the group after repeated regrouping, you may get dropped. We stop at the shop for coffee, breakfast tacos, pastries, and socializing before finishing the rest of the ride.

Both rides leave from Cups & Cones at 7:30 am. Come early on Saturdays to grab some coffee, kolaches, and donuts! Support our local ride start shop!

See you soon!

This weekend’s rides: Scenic to MJs, attempt #2! Red Horn!

This Saturday’s weather looks to be the best we are going to get for a while. Let’s try again for MJs via Mt. Bonnell! Last weekend this was attempted, but the poor weather degraded the ride into just a plain Dam Loop and missed all the good parts. The route is 62 miles and can be found here: https://www.strava.com/routes/10498583 . After the ride we meet up at Lakeside for some discounted burgers and beer!

Sunday is our usual Coffee Shop ride to Red Horn. It is 50 miles and is at an endurance pace typically finishing around a 17mph average speed overall. While we make great efforts to keep the group together, this is NOT a no drop ride. If you cannot hang with the group after repeated regrouping, you may get dropped. Red Horn is 20 miles away and is where we stop for coffee, breakfast tacos, pastries, and socializing before finishing the rest of the ride. The route can be found here: https://www.strava.com/routes/4736117 .

Both rides leave from Cups & Cones at 7:30 am. Come early on Saturdays to grab some coffee, kolaches, and donuts! Support our local ride start shop!

See you soon!
