Clown bikes at the King of Jester Hillclimb? You bet! L ro R: Sue Anderson, Stan Truxillo (www.highgearcoaching.com), Ron Neher, Susie Truxillo, Leo Anderson, Jeff Bryce, March 2006
Co-leaders Ron Neher, Nancy Meredith, Leo and Sue Anderson: A word from Ron Neher:
I ride a Pocket Rocket Pro and I've really enjoyed PACTour/ BF Desert camps! I am planning on attending camp next year and bringing by 9 year old daughter, if I can talk my wife into allowing me to buy aTiLite XL Traveler tandem.
We have loads of great rides to do in Austin with the many Bike Friday owners here. There's also a BikeFriday Club on BikeJournal.com. I am R26988. In my profile I have links to some of my favorite rides in the North Austin / Round Rock / Georgetown area which we can do together. For example: the Freescale Spicewood Springs 360 LW FW Mesa, and the Lake Georgetown ride. The route across the San Gabriel river for this trek is a 30 meter low water crossing that is rocky and you have to pick up the bike and walk across water around mid-calf. I have another way across river by not turning on 269 and stay on 268 to cross low water crossing on bike and will show that trek also. On the link above view the Waypoints for details on turns. Here is another example going out toward Lake Georgetown that I did with some people. There's more. Ride with us!
