So, anyone here from Austin?
I'm wondering what the bike "trail/path"s marked on this map (brown dotted lines) are like. Paved? Gravel? Fraught with obstacles and kids on scooters? Even real? Having only ever driven in Austin (and only once, at that), all these roads are pretty much just lines on a map for me.
I've been working out various routes for the UAR, and I can shave over 2 miles off the total distance if we use the trails. The rules don't expressly forbid them, and I think they'd be better for riding with the kid, so long as they can be traveled safely at a decent speed. If we're going to have to dodge dogs and slow to 5 mph every few yards, then it's probably not worth the trouble.
I'm going to have time on Saturday to scope everything out, but I don't want to spend too much time considering the trails if they're not going to rideable on Sunday morning.
So, help a girl out. Who knows Austin?
