Tuesday practices will generally start off Mission Oaks or Moonshadow in the Travis Country neighborhood in Southwest Austin.
Tuesday practices are broken out by POD.
Tuesday practices use the Barton Creek Wilderness area's 60+ miles of trails.
Thursday practices will generally start at the south side of the pedestrian bridge under MOPAC near Austin High
Often, Thursday practices will include mentorship rides, where Platinum and Gold POD riders will pair up with Silver and Bronze riders.
Thursday practices use the many fields at Zilker for skills and drills. We also use the "Main Trail" to get some trail time in the Barton Creek Wilderness!
Non-race weekend Saturday practices will be held at a local trailhead, usually within an hour of South Austin.
Many Saturdays we will keep it close to home; somewhere in South Austin's 140+ miles of SATN, longer rides in the Barton Creek Greenbelt or do destination rides at Rocky Hill, Muleshoe, Pace Bend, or Lakeway.
Saturday is often broken out by POD, with Bronze and Silver doing shorter or less-intense routes.
We also try to hit a few of the Texas Mountain Bike Racing Association's (TMBRA) Saturday pre-rides during their race weekends. Pre-marked courses and a race vibe? Yes, please!
