Today's route takes riders to various iconic locations within the city. Distances range from 15-25 miles and include some hill climbing that may challenge some riders.
These rides are co-hosted by Mellow Johnny’s and the Austin Cycling Association. This no-drop, co-ed group ride is perfect for the cyclist new to riding or bike commuting, returning to the bike or just looking for a more casual ride. The routes are designed to help riders navigate the city bike routes and other safe bike commuting options.
Thank you for making this a popular Saturday morning ride. In response, we are now hosting two groups for this ride. The first group is designed for those who can average 14-16mph for 20-30 miles with one or two regrouping points. This group follows the same route but is provided with an extended mileage option.
The second group is our traditional Scout-a-route. We average 12mph for distances between 15-25 miles with regrouping points.
Both rides are intended to explore, so leave your heart rate monitor at home, bring some spare dollars for the occasional refreshment stop and enjoy the view.
General ride expectations: helmet, bike in good working condition, water and nutrition, and no headphone/radios. We encourage you to ride to the shop. If driving, please park in the street.
For pre-ride refreshment, meet at Juan Pelota Café 30 minutes before start time.
