Scout out the City of Austin Bike Routes. Today's ride is a more challenging route than usual with the hills of Rollingwood and an option to ride a short section of Loop 360 with it's wide shoulders but faster traffic. The mileage is low at 14 miles but requires some experience. These rides are meant for exploring so bring your questions and leave your heart rate monitor at home. We roll faster but expect about 12mph ave pace since we are in town. Come by at 8:00 for coffee.
