There are Wednesday evening rides at Flat Rock, start at 6:00.

Tuesday evenings at 6:30 there's a ride at MacAllister Park in San Antonio, 15-18 miles. There's also rides at OP Schnabel Park on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, 6:15-6:30.

Don't forget Government Canyon, you can get a good ride in on Saturday mornings, 9:00 a.m., from Sage cycles, 6.5 mile road ride (one way) to and from the park, ride some of the front and back country; got in 29 miles this past Saturday. Had a group of about 8 riders, lots of fun!

Hope we see ya next week!

...Don't forget Government Canyon, you can get a good ride in on Saturday mornings, 9:00 a.m., from Sage cycles, 6.5 mile road ride Why the ride from the LBS to Government Canyon? Just to add miles or there is no parking allowed there? I plan on hitting this place some time during my visit to TX on July 4th. Please let me know if is safe to park at this place. I plan on hitting during the evenings on weekdays and will probably ride for 3-4 hours. Thanks.

Parking is allowed at the park, and there are PLENTY of parking spaces! We just like to meet at the LBS for the extra miles, the free recovery drinks at the shop after the ride, and to use the new shower at the shop and cool off in the a/c! Also, FYI, the park opens at 8:00 a.m. and there is NO night riding there.
