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!
Route is long (18 miles) so pace accordingly....it is also tech heavy at the end :)
Start with "Ok, P" north through Dic Nic to VCT. Once on the VCT, hang a right on the midway entrance to "Dic Around" before proceeding south on "Narnia," cross Davis to "Rudolph." Once at the top of "Rudolph" proceed to the pipeline and take "Smuckers" to "Bella Bella" and down the single track on the right side of the pipeline to Longview Road. DO NOT cross to "Swamp Thing," instead head north on Longview and cut into the trails through Longview Park (far East Trail) before descending downhill to "Stevie's Bypass" and WEST "Jane Fonda" to the VCT. Once at the VCT, head Southwest on "Race to the Library," "Dic Nic 2020", Latta Greenbelt and "KOOPA TROOPA." At the end of Koopa Troopa, take "House Party" into Drip Drop Annex, to "Good Luck" and up/down "Davis Landslide." Exit to Barstow and out to "Burner" on Slaughter Lane. End the ride with "No Walk Reverse" and "Aesthetic" (highline only).
Meet behind ATX Bikes. Please do not park behind Domino’s Pizza, or in front of Austin Diagnostic Clinic!
