Crank ‘N Drank
South Austin Trail Network
Every Tuesday - 6PM
Crank ‘N Drank is a South Austin Trail Network Tuesday evening tradition.
Wheels down at 6pm. This is an advanced level ride, meaning the slowest group is not a beginner group. Crank N Drank is not recommended for beginners. There is a BYOB chill out after the ride. Bring a cooler, your favorite brew, a chair, and some money for Dominoes, Tacodeli, or TCBY which are in the shopping center.
Remember, this is an advanced level ride. Generally the groups are:
Group 4/Social: 8-9 MPH with breaks
Group 3: 9 MPH with a few breaks
Group 2: 9-10 mph with very few breaks
Group 1: 10-11 mph with very few breaks
Please be respectful of the riders behind you. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP MOVE ASIDE AND LET THE GROUP THROUGH.

Route Notes
If trail conditions are poor, route will be gravel and road.
Start with "Front Door" to "Slalom," and then head south to cross with the pedestrian light at LaCrosse (watch carefully for right-turning traffic!). Continue on "Firehouse" until you reach the early turnoff for "45 Flow Too." After climbing to the top of "45 Flow Too," go straight across Escarpment Blvd to "Median Well," then "Stroller Roller," and finally "Boneyard." At 1826 and 45, make sure you have a clean line of sight before crossing the U-turn lane. Take the 1826 trail all the way to Maxwell Loop. Complete the SHORT LOOP of Maxwell. Head towards home on "Burner" and "No Walk in the Park." If your group leader isn't feeling like that much chunk at the end of the ride, he or she may opt to route you on the gravel path in Circle C metro instead of "No Walk." From the Escarpment spillway/graffiti tunnels, ride to the gravel and then finish on the dual slalom trail "Double Vision."
Meet behind ATX Bikes. Please do not park behind Domino’s Pizza, or in front of Austin Diagnostic Clinic!
