2024 big ass ride
April 20, 2024 - 8:00 AM
Rainout Date: April 27th
What Is It
This is a social ride around South Austin Trail Network (SATN) focused on the east theatre, open to everyone, with no registration, entry fee or donation required… this is just for fun!
There are 2 routes totaling 42 miles: a 16-mile loop with Mary Moore Searight as the most westerly point. Or the full big east loop of 26 miles.
This event is organized by volunteers from the SATN community and sponsored by Fast Friends Beer.
The purpose of the Big Ass Ride is to share the joy of The South Austin Trail Network. Not only the 130 miles of single track, but also the fantastic SATN community of mountain bikers!

Additional Info
This ride is self-supported, so bring plenty of water to store in your car. Sports drinks in an ice chest is a great idea. Food and nutrition for those in between segment rest stops is smart. Extra DRY gloves to switch out, sandals to rest feet at stops and wear after ride, tools and a pump for those mid ride adjustments. All good ideas.
