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.
Head WEST along "Bowie Dirt Sprint" and follow the gravel path south to the Escarpment spillway and cross to "No Walk in the Park (westbound)." Rider leaders: have your group space out on "No Walk" to avoid slow downs at the various features. After "No Walk '' take "Burner Reverse '' up Slaughter to the cut through to1826 before descending to Maxwell Slaughter Creek Preserve and doing the full 5 mile loop. After riding the Maxwell SC loop, climb south along 1826 to the entrance of "Boneyard." Take "Boneyard," "Meridian Rare," and "Stroller Roller" to the golf cart road then turn north and take "Onion Park/Starting Gate" to "Phoenix South" to "Disc Go Disc Go." After "Disc Go," cross under Escarpment and ride all of "Dixie" towards MoPac before concluding with "Alamo Swamp." Note, "Dixie" is the southernmost trail that parallels Slaughter Creek, don't get it confused for "Southbank."
**Social Group: There will be a Social Group tomorrow. We will ride into Maxwell and do the FULL loop but not continue south down 1826 afterwards.
Meet behind ATX Bikes. Please do not park behind Domino’s Pizza, or in front of Austin Diagnostic Clinic!
