Tour de Southern Walnut Creek Trail

Start Time is 8 AM!

A D-pace ride (roughly 11 to 13 mph) on The Southern Walnut Creek Trail from the trailhead at Govalle Park up to the Abrupt End at Lindell Lane just north of Decker Lake. Round trip is about 20 miles. The trail is paved for the entire distance,with a 1/2 mile hill on the outbound. We'll regroup periodically on the outbound and at the Abrupt End. The return is mostly downhill.

The trail is two-way and narrows down in spots. Single-file riding is recommended.

There are two significant road intersections that require caution to cross.

Bring water, a snack, a spare bicycle tire tube, and tools to fix a flat. Riders will sign a liability waiver at the ride start and must wear a helmet.

There are no restrooms on the trail itself. There are restrooms at Govalle Park and at the Austin Tennis Center, about 1/3 mile off the trail.

Meet after the ride for coffee / brunch at the mellow Sa-Ten cafe, 916 Springdale Rd. It is within easy cycling distance of Govalle Park.
