When you bring 17 pairs of gloves, 2 neck gaiters, three arm warmers and a beanie to the ride all to find you may have been a little over dramatic about this whole cold weather situation. But for real, bring that third set of gloves tonight! Gonna get a lil chilly after cresting Ladera. Also bring all your bike lights. Throwdown tonight! See y’all @cycleast at 6:30 for a ride through all the best north west hills.

Wheels down from @cycleast at 6:30pm, meet up at Crown & Anchor for post ride hangs. Bring every blinky light you own, it’s gonna be a fully nighttime ride for a while!
Do you wanna be a podium person or a Ben-wearing-a-spooky-robe person? Personally, I like to be both. Either way, Thursday Throwdown will prepare you by sending you up 25 miles of Austin’s finest hills followed by a pit stop at @elchilito_atx.

Fitness? Yeah, lost that about 10 beers and 2 cross races ago. But who cares! The key is to maintain just enough “fitness” to make it to the top of ladera. That’s our off season strategy, and we’re generally known to be some of the most pro of athletes. Throwdown tonight! Wheels down from @cycleast at 6:30pm. Bring all the lights you own. We’ll end at Crown and Anchor for some post ride snacks and drinks!

TEARDOWN

Expect 25-30 miles of punchy hills ride leaving from The Peddler (Hyde Park) every Tuesday at 6:30PM (please check our Instagram or join our Strava Club for updates before the ride!).

Open to all who want to challenge themselves, the ride will tackle some of the steeper hills of West Austin with regroups after any of the tough climbs. Depending on ride size, the ride will split into two groups at ride leader's discretion.

Make sure to bring lights, flat repair gear, and enough water for two hours of solid climbs and chill vibes. The average pace is usually around 12mph (factoring in climbs) but occasional sprint segments on the way back will get a little faster. Please click the links below to download the route on Strava.
