The Hill Country
Randonneurs embark on the 2026 brevet season tomorrow with the classic route (thanks Rob!) to Round Mountain from the Shipley's on Anderson.
I made a couple detours to avoid the construction on 360 around Westlake Dr.
Southbound: there is a brief jaunt west. Depending on the traffic in the AM you may feel fine staying on the original route on 360 as it takes you to south Austin.
Northbound: return home, I route us through the scenic but still express route along Lake Austin/Scenic Dr/Shoal Creek. This avails you some nice coffee stops, if you wish.
Please sign up on the HCR website if you will be joining and ensure your RUSA membership is still valid in the new year!

Happy New Year!
