This weekend’s rides: Tour de Cure! San Marcos Tour!

SRC,

This weekend we have another disturbance in our regular rides with the Tour de Cure on Saturday in San Marcos. On Sunday we will continue with the San Marcos fun and do our ride there instead of our usual Red Horn route.

Derrick has secured a beautiful house for us to use this weekend on the San Marcos river! Those doing the Tour de Cure can come out Friday and stay the night so it is easy to get to the start. Those wanting to ride with us Sunday morning can come out on Saturday and stay the night there too. Please send me or Derrick a direct email (not replying to the entire mail list) if you are interested. We will have a great time and hope you join us! It should only be about an hour drive from Steiner to San Marcos if you can’t stay the night but still want to ride. The Sunday route is not yet planned, so if you are going to ride with us on Sunday and not stay the night Saturday, send me an email and I’ll make sure you get the route details Saturday night.

Those of you that are too lame to join us can organize something else among yourselves. Maybe the Armadillo Classic on Saturday and regular Red Horn on Sunday.

Cheers,
Thomas

This weekend’s rides: Mystery Ride! LIVESTRONG!

SRC,

Those doing LIVESTRONG on Sunday (myself included) will want to do something shorter on Saturday. Others will want to do a more regular ride. Let’s just meet at the regular time and place on Saturday and decide what to do, and that likely means two groups. After the ride we meet up at Lakeside for some discounted burgers and beer, even if we finish at 9am. 😛

Sunday is LIVESTRONG. Those not participating can just meet at the usual start time and place for 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!
Thomas
