City Rando

A little randonneuring on a bright “winter” Friday in central Texas.  Randonneur, not in the big sense as in a timed long distance bicycle ride.  In the little  of the French word which means excursion.  A leisurely tour of the city and some bicycle goodness that is under construction.

Barton Springs Road

The city is adding a segregated bikeway on the north side of Barton Springs Road, between Lamar and Congress.

South Walnut Creek Trail

Initial segment starts in Govalle Park and goes north and east using greenbelt.  Ultimately this will connect to both Manor and NE Austin, with a connection to Walnut Creek park and the North Walnut Creek trail to Balcones Park.
