SATURDAY, MAY 8TH: BEGINNERS MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE AT SLAUGHTER CREEK TRAIL
Meet at 10 AM to ride the 5 mile trail at Slaughter Creek Preserve. This preserve was purchased by the City of Austin to provide water protection. The City of Austin Water Utility Department agreed to share a one-foot wide strip on the 700 acres that can be used for horseback riding, as well as hiking and cycling. There are plaques along the trail we can review to learn more about the land and water quality protection.
