I have a wedding to go to next weekend, but have time the morning of the wedding to go for a semi-long ride. I was thinking about just doing the HITS half course, but I wasn’t sure how safe the roads would be without the race going on. Thoughts?
Mormon Mill Rd.
Park at the church. Enjoy.
I ride out in the Kingsland/Marble Falls area quite often - lucky to have access to a lake house on LBJ. The roads out there have nice wide shoulders - plenty of room so that I feel safe when I ride. The speed limit on lots of the roads is 70mph - so the cars and big trucks will be going past you at a high speed, but you have a lot of space. I don’t see a huge number of cyclists out there so you will likely be out on your own. I have never felt unsafe on those roads - but stay on the shoulder even though it is rougher than the tempting tarmac a few feet to the left.
