Crank ‘N Drank

< Back to Recurring Rides

Crank ‘N Drank is a South Austin Trail Network Tuesday evening tradition.

Wheels down at 6pm. Typically, there are four groups of varying speed. Pick a group you think you can hang with, and if it turns out they are too quick, fall back to the next slowest group; however, this IS a drop ride and riders are expected to be self sufficient. Each ride averages about fifteen miles and includes all different types of terrain, from smooth and flowy, to rock gardens from hell.

There is a BYOB chill out after the ride. Bring a cooler, your favorite brew, a chair, and some money for Dominoes, Tacodeli, or TCBY.

Please be respectful of the riders behind you. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP MOVE ASIDE AND LET THE GROUP THROUGH. Do not allow your pride to negatively impact someone else’s ride. Fall back to the next group.

IF TRAIL CONDITIONS ARE POOR, THE RIDE WILL BE GRAVEL AND ROAD.
