Super Squadra

In preparation for the start of the Texas racing calendar, developers plowed through some primo Texas Hill Country real estate in anticipation of future Lake Travis communities off of Lakeway Blvd and the tiny, well kept secret back way to Pace Bend Park, Bee Creek Road. Austin cyclists, please rejoice and take pride in a fresh new bike path through Lakeway, Highlands blvd. There are plenty of turns and chances to use a full range of 2010 Force cassette choices. Best of all, for at least the next six hours or until housing starts to pick up, there are no homes on this closed section of road. Our regional developers have our interest in mind, fresh new pavement and rolling hills to gain fitness for the first four race weekends of the young season.

Continuing on during our three county tour, we marched west through Spicewood and on to the actual Dead Man’s hole, fighting wind the whole way to our most western point of the ride. This was about 55mi from home, and we were worried about making it back before dark until the 30mph gusts pushed our pace so that the 107mi was completed in a shade under 5:20. Some of that was thanks to the non-sock wearing contingent of triathletes that towed us early in the ride, thanks, guys! Be sure to check out the new roads west of Austin when looking for adventure and let us know what you think of our new Lakeway private cycling race track.
