Biking at the Veloway and beyond (all skill levels; great for beginners)

About this event

The Veloway is an off-road, one-way, 3.1 mile paved loop for bicycles and in-line skaters only. The loop is about 23 ft wide and divided in half so slower cyclists can stay on one side and faster cyclists on the other side. There are all levels of cyclists, including families with kids. Join us for multiple self-paced laps around the scenic track, which is car-free and dedicated solely to biking and inline skating. http://www.austintexas.gov/department/veloway

Great for those who are new to biking or just getting back into shape, as well as experienced riders and racers. Your bike should be in good working condition and you MUST wear a helmet and practice safe riding skills.

Participants must sign a Liability Waiver at the trailhead. You may view the waiver document: https://tinyurl.com/SCSignUpSheet2020

The first hour will be laps around the track at your own speed. Then if you choose, you may join us for a ride on low traffic residential streets in the Circle C neighborhood and along the Bliss Spillar bike path. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55547591 Expect about 14 miles at a pace of 10+ mph.

There is a water fountain and porta-potty at the Veloway, but if you intend to do the neighborhood ride after, you should bring sufficient water to stay hydrated.

The Veloway parking lot is limited, but there is ample street parking. Often we go out for food and drink afterwards.
