Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

I ride that way pretty regularly and the route I prefer is almost the same.  The link below shows a few different turns to avoid busy intersections and the relatively steeper hill on Oltorf.  I haven't ridden Oltorf in a while, but I do remember one steep hill that would not be fun if hauling a bunch of camping gear.  Best of luck!
