Moontower Ride - Saturday, June 16th @ 8:30am starting on the eastside

Hey All-

I have been doing the Moontower ride on Saturdays that covers all 15 existing moontower locations (really 14.5 since 22nd and Nueces is just the base).  It is roughly a 23.5 mile trek with some decent climbs.  You can check out the route here at MapMyRide.

We make two scheduled stops for water at the Zilker Park Clubhouse (cold water fountains at mile 8.5) and for a snack/water the Avenue B Store and Deli in Hyde Park (18 mile point).  The ride is a fun ride so we can stop as needed too.

The ride starts at 8:30am on the eastside at Sixth and Chicon and ends at the East 11th and Lydia moontower (next to Longbranch Inn and Hillside Farmacy).  It usually takes about 2 1/2 hours with the stops.

If anyone is interested in a Saturday morning, June 16th ride let me know by posting and we can coordinate.

Best.  Chris

Hi All - This ride is definitely on and taking place on Saturday, June 16th. 

Don, great to see you are in again for the ride.  Missed you in Blanco at the Real Ale ride.  Ended up doing the fifteen instead of the thirty.

Toadie plus one, fantastic and look forward to meeting you two.

Runzilla - thanks for the heads up on other places to post.  I will look to do that.  It you want to re-post and link to here that is great.  This is a fun ride that we do and the more the merrier.  Thanks.

I will be sure and post late next week re-confirming time and meeting place (8:30am at Sixth and Chicon, Rabbits lot).

I did SAG duty on the Real Ale ride.  I only just took off from start/finish and had to take in a dude in who only made about 5 miles.   

What about the moontower at Central Market Westgate?  http://www.centralmarket.com/Stores/Aus … tgate.aspx   I have no problem with a longer rider that includes it.

Hey everybody - weather is looking good for tomorrow's ride.  We should have some cloud cover in the morning to keep the heat off.

Once again, the plan is to meet on the corner of E 6th and Chicon (Rabbit's parking lot across from the Cool Store).

We'll get started right at 8:30am.  My cell is 3 one two, 37one-zero six 13.  If for some reason you are running behind or don't see us please text.  Based on responses we'll have five or six people riding - should be fun.

Best,  Chris
