With a population of ~6000, it’s a shot in the dark, but if so, please let me know. I am very curious about the training out there. I know they host the Primavera bike race in the spring, and I see they have an MSN group of runners who also seem to do some tri’s. thanks!
I’m not in Lago Vista, but I’m around the corner on the far West side near the Cedar Park/Leander border–about 10 miles as the crow flies.
There are some beautiful hilly, winding roads with little traffic to train on in the area. If you ask me, the back roads in this part of town are underrated. I’m not sure about training groups, though. I tend to hear more from the people out to the East and South of me.
Do you work out there too or in Austin?
The roads did seem nice… What about trails for running? Is there anything in Balcones Canyonlands?
I run and ride the roads near the lake and up to the North toward Liberty Hill and Burnet. My favorite 20 mile loop borders the preserve. There are a few trails off of the road, but all have signs stating that they require special permission. I’ve never actually looked into it, though.
