Saturday there were three rides on Saturday. The 50 Mile Damn Loop Ride, 60 Mile Scenic Ride and the 102 Mile Shiner ride. We had club riders participate in all and between all three rides we had about 25 people out riding on Saturday.
Sunday there were two rides the Tour de Steiner Ranch which appeared to have at least 10 riders and a bunch of us headed out to Verter Ginestra Memorial Ride where there were at least 20 riders. We had a pleasant Sunday 30 mile ride and then a nice lunch under the tree at the Antebellum Oaks Venue on Murfin Rd in Lakeway.
The CAPTAIN AMERICA kits should have been here Friday but it looks like it will probably be early this week.
STEINER RANCH 6,000 – Saturday May 10th at 7:30am at Cups & Cones
This Saturday we will be doing the Steiner Ranch 6,000 which is about 6,000 feet of climbing in 60 miles. We will start the Saturday at 7:30am from Cups & Cones. This will be a hard ride but there will be plenty of stops along the way and the pace will vary based on individual skill sets. We all had a great time last year and this should be a good prep ride for the Real Ale ride next weekend. This year we will have a no drop sweeper for the ride. Nilson volunteered to ride sweep for those that want to take it at a slower pace.

- Steiner Ranch Blvd (R) [Take this back down into Steiner Ranch and follow it all the way around to Cups & Cones]
- Cups & Cones (R) [take a right into the C&C parking lot as soon as you pass the fire station]This is going to be a challenging ride. There will be some that go fast but most will be going at a slow to moderate pace the entire time. The goal of this ride is simply to finish and say that you completed the Steiner Ranch 6,000. This ride is really the dam loop with a few added hills.
