RIDE THE CAR-FREE WALNUT CREEK TRAIL-Sat, October 29, 2016 8:45AM

RIDE THE CAR-FREE WALNUT CREEK TRAIL -- LATER TIME!

Saturday, October 29, 2016   8:45 AM

Don's Automotive Repair
1636 S 1st St, Austin, TX
Map

Across from Freddie's Restaurant on South First, BUT SEE ALTERNATE POINT TO JOIN US
OK, we are going to ride the very mellow car-free Walnut Creek trail.  We leave from Don's Automotive, 9:00 Five miles to the trail head, trail is about 10-15 miles out. (??)   So about 32 miles total.  BUT, you can fall in at the Govalle Park parking lot on Bolm Rd. alternatively.  Please RSVP with comment posted if that is your intention and be there with bike unloaded before 9:30, as those coming from Don's on South First should be coming through no later than that.  Until we are all together, let's stay in touch by posting comments to the ride.  If we have unanimous agreement we can go past the trail end to Manor or even beyond.  We will stay as a group.  Please be able to ride B-/B or better.  Hill factor:  LOW.   Hope for nice weather and a great car-free ride -- much, but not all, in the woods! 

OK -- here is a link to how we will get there from Don's  Automotive.

Gary and I look forward to your joining us.

Anita, welcome to this ride. I think you will find it very mellow. Its a great group of riders! Do you want to do the longer or shorter version? Longer is wheels down from Don's Automotive @ 9:00, shorter is we pick up riders @ GoValle Park around 9:30. Both are good!
