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. Typically, there are four groups of varying speed. Pick a group you think you can hang with, and if it turns out they are too quick, fall back to the next slowest group; however, this IS a drop ride and riders are expected to be self sufficient. Each ride averages about fifteen miles and includes all different types of terrain, from smooth and flowy, to rock gardens from hell.
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.
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.
Easy...the REVERSE of SATN Social West. Start with "Alamo Swamp" to "Dixie" westbound to the Escarpment spillway. [TIP: "Dixie" is the southernmost segment on the southside of Slaughter Creek. "Southbank" is the segment closest to the creek on the southside, "Dixie" is the outer segment that parallels "Southbank."] Cross under Escarpment at the spillway and head west on "Disc Go Disc Go" to "Forbidden Fenceline" south to "Bandit." [The SHORT version of Bandit]. Cross under La Crosse and take "Phoenix South" to the Spruce Cannon then cut through the neighborhood to "Starting Gate/Onion Park" to 45 Trails WEST to FM 1816. Cross Hwy 45 at the light and take the FM 1826 singletrack northbound to Maxwell Slaughter Creek Trail. Do all of Maxwell (5 mile or 3 mile options, NOT in reverse...this should go without saying). Exit Maxwell and continue north on 1816 single track to the Stor jeep track trail to "Burner." Take "Burner" back to Metro Park and finish with "No Walk in the Park" to the spillway and "Bowie dirt sprint" back to the shop.
Full route: 16 miles
w/ 3 mile Maxwell Loop: 14 miles
no Maxwell: 10(ish) milesTotal Route = 16 miles
