Crank ‘N Drank

South Austin Trail Network

Every Tuesday - 6PM

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

Wheels down at 6pm. This is an advanced level ride, meaning the slowest group is not a beginner group. Crank N Drank is not recommended for beginners. 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 which are in the shopping center.

Remember, this is an advanced level ride. Generally the groups are:

Group 4/Social: 8-9 MPH with breaks
Group 3: 9 MPH with a few breaks
Group 2: 9-10 mph with very few breaks
Group 1: 10-11 mph with very few breaks

Please be respectful of the riders behind you. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP MOVE ASIDE AND LET THE GROUP THROUGH.

Route Notes

If trail conditions are poor, route will be gravel and road.

Trails are a mess after the rain. For those new to a CnD urban ride, the format is a bit different. Gravel and mountain bikes are all welcome but there will be no set groups. We will roll out from ATX Bikes parking lot as one large group, and pace and subgroups will naturally form as the main group rolls along. Pace is generally relaxed until we reach the pedestrian bridge over Lady Bird Lake. After a quick stop at the bridge, riders will typically choose their own adventure on the return: Head straight back to the shop [short loop: 22-23miles] or continue around the lake [full loop: 31 miles].
