to Lone * Star * Randonneurs
Join us April 11, 2026 for an Audax/UAF 100k ride out of Italy, Texas.
On an Audax ride, the whole group sticks together, and tries to maintain a preset pace/schedule. In addition to keeping the group together, this is also intended to avoid rushing people out of controls. The preset pace is generally based on a 14 mph rolling average. We'll appoint captains for lead/rear, with the idea that nobody rides ahead of the lead captain or behind the rear captain. At least four riders are required to start, and three at the finish, for the ride to qualify as "completed" (and riders are counted, not bikes). More complete rules can be found here: https://rusa.org/pages/audax-intro
Start time: 7:30 (daylight start)
Start location: Shell station/ Texas Best BBQ, on east corner of Hwy 34/ I-35E intersection, in Italy, Texas. Park at the south end of the parking lot.
RUSA membership is required. See the RUSA website for details.
Lone Star Randonneurs membership is required. See the LSR website for details. Get the form and money in to Dan prior to the ride.
A waiver is attached. Complete, print, sign, scan, and email to both me and Dan, and bring the original to the ride start.
A cue sheet is attached. It includes the schedule for all stops, etc. Check back prior to the ride for any updates.
If we have less than four riders, we do have a backup ride plan, to be confirmed prior to ride start.
The current long-range forecast is a low of 64 on Friday night, a high of 77, "scattered thunderstorms" with chance of rain at 59%, and 15 mph winds from the SSE. Hopefully, that will improve, check back for updates. But bring rain gear, and be prepared for some dampness along the way.
Check back for updates!
