SRC,

Great news! We have found a way to rid your body of much of that ‘water’ and ‘salt’ by sweating your asses off with us on a new route! Our very own and lovely Stuart has spent most of his day carefully crafting a route that he personally promises will be free of any defects or surprises. It will take us from our usual Cups & Cones at 7:30am out and around Pflugerville and back to end at Lakeside Pizza & Grill (next door to Cups & Cones) where we will relive the flawless experience over some beers and burgers. The route is around 78 miles and mostly flat (for the route see this link. There will also be a second group which will take a shorter route at a more comfortable pace. Ending the Saturday rides at Lakeside is kinda a new thing, and last Saturday was very fun with many riders talking shop and sharing war stories.

Sunday is the Coffee Shop Ride where we ride from Cups & Cones at 7:30am to Red Horn Coffee House & Brewing Company for some caffeine, pastries, and socializing. The ride is 50 miles at a relaxed pace. Those wanting to limit the ride to 36 miles can just turn around at Red Horn and head straight back. The route is here

It aint that hot.

SRC,

Is it too hot for you? No! Maybe for those other guys in [insert rival club name here], but not us! Saturday let’s get all sweaty together and check out the brutal climbing that is our Cozy Cove ride. This version has a quick lap around Pace Bend Park which requires $3 cash, so don’t miss out! Total distance is only 57 miles, but don’t forget about the 3000+ feet of climbing fun. Depart from Cups & Cones at the usual 7:30am. There will be 2 distinct groups: stupid folks that try to kill each other with hammering and those that know better. Pick your poison at the gate. Click here for the route.

Sunday we will repeat our 50 mile ride to Red Horn Coffee House & Brewing Company at a casual pace where we enjoy some caffeine and socializing. Those wanting to keep it short can do a straight out-and-back for around 36 miles total. This has been quite a nice ride recently and we plan on repeating it until someone has another suggestion. Please… if this ride isn’t what you want speak up! Click here for the route.
