This weekend’s rides: Pflugerville Loop! New Red Horn Coffee Shop Route!

I hope everyone that wants one of our new jerseys and bibs comes out to the UT Golf Club tomorrow at 5:30 to try them on and select your sizes! This new kit is going to be awesome with better materials, an updated design, and new sponsors.

Assuming Saturday’s weather is ok in the morning, we will head out for a 65 mile loop around Pflugerville. The route is here: https://www.strava.com/routes/3955052 . After the ride we grab burgers and beer at Lakeside next door to the start so be sure to put that in your plans!

Last Sunday we tried out a new Red Horn Coffee Shop route and it was a huge success with much more pleasant roads and a great turnout. We have made minor tweaks to it and it should be even more awesomer! Check out the route here: https://www.strava.com/routes/4736117 . It is 50 miles and is at a more relaxed social pace than our Saturday rides, but we typically finish with 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 19 miles away and is where we stop 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!

See you soon!

It is time for our new SRC kits! Fit parties are *this week*!

We have selected the vendor for our next generation kits: Eliel (http://www.elielcycling.com)! This week we will have two sessions for you to come check out the jerseys and bibs and try them on. This is your only opportunity to be sure of your size. We will be placing orders a few weeks later and you will want to be sure of your sizes!

Both sessions will be at the UT Golf Club (probably outside near the bar) at 5:30pm. First session is Wednesday which is more awesomer cuz it will be happy hour the whole time. Second session is Friday. Be sure to wear tight fitting underwear (no going commando while trying them on). The club has legit locker rooms for changing.

Please RSVP to the appropriate Wednesday or Friday event on the SRC Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SteinerRanchCycling/). You can come to both sessions if you just wanna hang out or get a second look.

These new kits are going to look super awesome. The design will be similar to our current kits to preserve the brand, but Brandon has some excellent plans for a design refresh. Who knows… he may show up with a sneak preview.

LADIES: you can select true women’s sizes!

We will also have a bunch of other outer wear options to look at (arm warmers, hats, knee warmers, jackets, vests, etc).

See you all soon!
