McKinney Falls Bike Ride

Join us on a hilly 32-mile ride to McKinney Falls and Onion Creek, with a shady break (water, restrooms) midway through the ride.

Riders must wear a helmet (http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/bicycle-helmet.html) and obey all traffic laws (http://www.biketexas.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=64). Riders should have water, gloves (http://bicycling.about.com/od/bikeequipmentaccessories/a/bike_gloves.htm), repair kit (http://bicycling.about.com/od/bikeequipmentaccessories/a/Everything_else.htm), lock, cell phone, ID, money. Expect to ride about 32 miles at a 12 mph pace - make sure that is suitable for you - as we plan to stick together as a group. Cue sheets will be provided.

You're invited to stay for the Austin Cycling Association's (http://www.austincycling.org) annual summer picnic afterwards ($8). Sign up by Friday, August 2nd at www.austincycling.org (http://www.austincycling.org/) or by sending a check for $8 per person to ACA, Attn Picnic, PO Box 5993, Austin, TX 78763 (indicate if you want the vegetarian option). A free hands-only CPR class will be held at noon.
