Where: Emma Long MC Trails
When: Sunday October 12, 2014
7am WHEELS DOWN - That means we roll out at 7am Sharp!
What to expect:
Plan on 6-7 hours for this ride - be ready to refuel on the go. That doesn't mean no stopping, of course we'll stop for at least 1 "extended" break, but we won't be stopping for a sit down meal somewhere like we did during the Half Bag O Dicks Ride. Ideally you have your fuel on board with you to minimize stopping only for water refill after BCGB.
Considering I realized the BCGB route is only 11 miles we might want to add some mileage in, definitely adding St Stephens, but maybe meander a bit at the GB after doing the official route - we could doubleback and do Dump Truck, Rudy's, Eds/Taint back up to top part of HOL.
Contingency - We need, well I certainly need, the TITS. Sat and Sun have a 40 and 30% chance of rain respectively, since it's ACL I'd say the chance is actually higher...We'll keep the time/place the same, but turn this into a shitty road ride and get creative adding some more Hugel Hills to the route - Lost Creek and Barton Creek are a blast on an MTB, Toro Canyon/Terrace Mtn and High Road will be the icing on the cake.
Emma to Zilker ~20 miles - maximizes EB routing.

BCGB EB Route ~11 miles (I checked the route and it's not the 14 they claim), so we might add more at the BCGB after we complete the route OR we could add Slinky for a real kick in the balls 1/4 of the way up Courtyard.
The outer loop at Stephens is 6 miles, so I'll throw in a bit of the inner stuff as well.
