Dear SRCC,
Well I have to say that the Steiner Ranch 6,000 was a successful ride. By leaving at 6:30am we missed most of the heat and we incorporated plenty of fluid stops so there was no shortage of water or rest breaks. The turnout was over 20 riders which surprised me given the early start time and the fact we climbed over 6,000 feet and road over 70 miles. Based on the feedback we may try to rotate this ride in every 2 or 3 months.
Sunday we had a great recovery ride which did not feel like a recovery ride. The weather was perfect and we had a really nice ride. We had a total of 10 riders. We might have to call the Sunday ride the Diva Ride because we are getting more and more women riding.
NEXT WEEKENDS RIDES
AVERY RANCH ROUTE – Saturday July 27th at 7:30am at Cups & Cones
On Saturday the Steiner Ranch Cycling Group (SRC) along with the Austin Cycling Association (ACA) will be co-hosting an approximately 55+ mile bike ride that will roll out from Cups & Cones at 7:30 am morning and we will head out to AVERY RANCH and head back via Crystal Falls.
The ride is going to be fairly flat and fast. While we do our best to keep the group together 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 a Group A travelling at speeds of 18-20 mph over the course of the route and we will also have Group B travelling about 16-17mph. Again there is no designated sweeper.
