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.

Night Ride season is here. YOU WILL NEED LIGHTS!

This is a diabolical one! Good luck!

Pipeline start, through "Alamo Swamp" (1/2 way ONLY) before hanging a RIGHT on "Alamo Backdoor" then RIGHT again on "Front Door" north to the start of "Double Vision." Race "Double Vision" west to the gravel path then east on "Javier's Honeymoon." At the end of "Javier's" take the first RIGHT to "Aesthetic/Lee Pleezen" westbound. Keep hanging right on Lee Pleezen to stay on the segment and take it all the way to the spillway. Cross under the spillway and do the Circle C Soccer Loop counterclockwise ("No Walk" & "Disc Go"). Once back at the spillway, take "Northbank" east but CROSS the creek at the first crossing you see (cross to south side), then immediately CROSS back to the north side using the last of the three crossings at "Triple Dip." Kind of confusing but it'll make sense when you ride it. Continue on "Northbank" to "double dip" and cross to the south side again. Finish on "Southbank" to the sidewalk. Once at the sidewalk, do a short loop on "Northbank" WEST to "Slalom" east...under MoPac using the tunnel then "Chip Chop II" to "Love Rollercoaster" to "Stonewall" (exit to Jeep Track at halfway point). From there, take "Genesis" to "PTL" to the southernmost entrance to "Space Invaders" back north. Exit "Space Invaders" at the first intersection (halfway) and take "Coyote Innards" to "No Line" CLIMB then across the creek to "Bowie Gnarl" NORTH to "E Spank" and "Insider Passage." For those wanting ONLY 10 miles, head back to the shop from here (short route does NOT cross Slaughter Lane). If doing the FULL ROUTE, after "Inside Passage" take "Quarantine Cut Through" to Slaughter Lane, cross, and proceed NORTH on "Bambi," "Narnia NB," "Dick Around NB." At the end of "Dick Around," flip around and take "DicNick 2020 West" to "Rattletrap" (stay on far western gravel section) before flipping around and taking the inside route to the "Blue Truck" back out to the gravel path, back under Beckett before weaving through DicNic trails to "OK,P" south and back to the shop.
