Tuesday Nighter (from UYS at http://www.uysinc.org/events):

Tuesdays at 6:00 PM
Contact Barry at barry@uysinc.org
The legendary series begins on April 1st. This is a traditional high pace race type training race for the more advanced rides/racers. The group is split into two ability levels an A group and a B group. The A is more of a pro 1,2,3 and the B for the lower cats. This is a serious race type workout so be prepared for the attacks, break aways, and a true sprint for the finish. All right corners and a few rollers, with one larger climb each lap. We leave for the ride at 5:15pm from the Barton Springs area. Off of East William Cannon Drive.

Hey Dave - I know this route as it's right by my house (as we've talked about), but what do you mean they leave from the Barton Creek area? I thought peeps just part along Salt Springs... what's up?

[Griz]

That would be the warm-up ride for Team UYS and 50+ others. Many others park on the north side of Thaxton Rd just east of Salt Springs Dr. (see map above).

[Griz]

djames, are you going out there tonight? and what exactly is the Barton Creek area? is there a more specific locale?

[dburatti]

Don't forget the Tuesday nighter damn loop ride.

Start at Cycle360 (which is now closed,) head south on 360, right on Pascal, left on St. Stephen's School Rd. Right on Bee Caves Rd./2244. Right on Hwy. 71. Right on 620. Right on 2222. Right on 360 back to Cycle360.

Approx. 32 miles.

6 PM start time.

Sorry, Matt – don't know. UYS mentioned something about “Barry” as contact (barry@uysinc.org). Perhaps he could help.

I just parked on Thaxton Rd. and do a few hill repeats out east.

[Griz]

ok. I live about 5 miles from there so I will probably just join you for hill repeats.

so are you going tonight?

[sangulo]

so does it really start tonite? just curious if maybe it was a slight mis-post or something since it's not daylight savings time (or whatever) until next week.

[Griz]

yeah, its a mispost. the info that djames posted from the UYS site is outdated.

thanks alot djames! you got me all excited for nuttin.
