Let's go do a hundred miles in some of the most beautiful roads in Texas Hill Country with Lance pal!

It's a good ride, fast. Very wet last year. Kinda turned into a race of attrition as people flatted out, or crashed over the final dirt section.
I have was planning to ride it this year but it didn't work out. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk |

This year was the opposite. Superb weather. Yeah it was windy but riding into the headwind only for the first half, the second half was tailwind all the way home, yeehaw! Rode in the front group with Lance and the gang for a while and then noticed how everyone was tensed up, fighting for position, pissing at each other and not even looking outside at the beautiful scenery that passes us by, decided that was dumb and peeled off to do my own thing. In the end... 102 miles 6:52 hr 5000+ feet 47-72 degrees Wind 30+ Merlin Agilis Ti Schwalbe Pro One 25mm super awesome combo Enjoying the views and fine weather, got off the bike feeling fresh as daisy Going fast and going hard is waaaaay over-rated Unbelievable day on the bike

Was there any gravel sections on this route? I've been trying to link up some gravel for a small group of us from Austin to ride.

you want a good stretch of gravel, you got to go further west, past Llano. Check out the route for Castell Grind.

Bailed on Castell Grind this year - last minute because of the cold weather that blew in (I know, there's a name for guys like me!). Looking for something a little closer to Austin that we could do regularly. |

I would have done the same except I got two pals who dragged me to the start line along with the other dumbasses.
https://forums.thepaceline.net/showt...hlight=Castell The only other gravel sections I know of is the Holey Roller route by bicycle sports shop.
