Houston to Austin Sunday Aug 31st
« on: August 28, 2014, 11:33:12 AM »

Myself and Saltrider are planning a ride to Austin and back Sunday August 31.  I was wondering, since it takes about 3 hours to get there and 3 hours to get back, where should we go and what should we do up there.  I am no opposed to a bit of riding but we are doing a lot of that going and coming so might want to take a little break.  Is there a bad Cranberries Icehouse or something up there that would be of interest?  I think the current plan is to go up to Barton Springs and take a dip in the cold water but that will only take a minute.  I don't want to waste an opportunity to do something really cool while we are there. 

Riding IS an option by the way, just don't want to ride 3 hours up, ride for 4 hours then ride 3 hours back. 

Thanks for the help in advance.   :thumbup:

I like it: KSU. in the Air Force, when a slug of an individual was notified orders of a move to change of station, we commenced plans on the "wheels up" party.....

Bad Cranberries ride.  Ended up at Yankees in Carl, had a lot of fun and logged about 420 miles today.

I am trying to put a Twisted Sisters ride together before Mena.  Planning on staying at River Oaks Inn in Bandera on Friday and riding the loop and back on Saturday.  Don't know which ones yet but hopefully in the next 3 weeks or so.  Of course, my wife might boycott this one since I am going to Arkansas but I am trying nontheless.

Going to move this to the twisted sister thread already created.
