All,

Playing around with the idea of a day trip to Austin this upcoming
Saturday for a Hugel-hill training day (out very early Sat AM, 80+
miles of Hugel course, late lunch then back home).....any interest?

Definitely up for an organized local ride the following Saturday (May
4th) of 80-100 miles.

Out this week because of family thing. Would be interested in doing Lake
Livingston the following weekend.

Just a reminder on the Lake Livingston loop...suggest you pick a day other
than May 4th, as that is the Cold Spring road race and the 156/224 loop will
be chaos until the races finish.

Mike,

Why am I not surprised! Only wildcard is weather... 30% chance of
rain...scattered thundershowers

So, how about we meet at 5:00am at Denny's at 290/1488 (Hempstead) and
then we can drive up together in one car? Note: Sunrise is 6:51am.

After cleaning up at Mellow Johnnys, we can meet up with family
(daughters, son, etc.) for lunch at the Shady Grove or whereever folks
want to go. Been hanging out at the Hula Hut lately..very nice too!

Hi Greg,

Super, hope the weather cooperates.  My sister-in-law from Denver will be visiting in Austin this weekend.  It will be nice to see her too.  We can start and end at the house.  I would like for you to see it. 

Ciao,

Mike A

All,

Weather looks dicey for Austin on Saturday so Mike and I are changing
plans on the fly.

We are meeting up in Coldspring (San Jacinto courthouse) at 6:30am and
doing the 100 mile Loop of Lake Livingston (7am depart). Come join if
interested!!!

I'll probably see you if you make it around the loop to 224 before we get
exhausted with our repeats tomorrow morning! Would like to have done the
loop with you, but that's a bit too much a week b-4 CS RR.

For those that didn't make it today... ya'll missed an excellent ride
today (hope you had a good one instead)!

Craig M, Mike A and I departed from Coldpring at 6:45am....nice temps
with a decent wind from the south (pretty humid...but who can
complain!). Had a super cruise up the eastern shore of Lake
Livingston with the only hiccup being Mike getting a flat on 190 a
couple miles before Onalaska. Quickly fixed and had a short stop at
the Chevron there before blazing a trail to Trinity then over to
Riverside for lunch. Think we were at just under a 21mph ave there
(mile 62). After a Subway break we rode 980 to Point Blank then 190
to 156 and back via 224. Winds died so not much headwind...

Finished at just over 100 miles at 12:40 with a 20.3 mph ave. Not bad
at all for only 3 of us!!!

Everyone rode great....Craig's riding super strong...and
Mike...well.......what do you expect. I felt pretty good too...a bit
tired early only but perked up later. Traffic was pretty
accommodating...always have to watch closely those towing boats/
trailers. Some nice smooth repaving on the eastern side was sure
nice. 190 still sucks (on both sides of the lake).

Looking to do a decent ride next weekend...need to stay away from the
Coldspring area at there's the road race there on Sat.

We haven't done 1374 for a while....so maybe I'll try to put something
together that includes it. I am seriously thinking about a 2 looper
with a primary (first) loop of 60-80 miles that ends at our starting/
parking point and then a second one that would round the total to ~100
miles. That way folks that didn't want to go as long/far could join.
Any traction for this idea?
