 | Southern Walnut Creek Trail 7.3 Miles Paved · Out & Back Car-Free This 7.3 mile paved out-and-back trail is an amazing resource for cyclists of all levels. Mostly flat and gentle with no humongous hills. It runs alongside beautiful trees, grasslands, and waterways. The concrete path is ten feet wide and frequently used by cyclists, joggers, and walkers. If you're lucky, you'll meet a friendly cat around mile 3.5 — we call him Arnold. 🙂

 | The Veloway 3.1 Mile Loop Bikes & Rollerblades Only Southwest Austin This 3.1 mile bicycle track is a great place to practice turns without worrying about cars or pedestrians. Also a fantastic place to see wildlife — roadrunners, birds, deer, and yes, a few snakes. Located in Southwest Austin near the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. The path was repaved in 2017 so the surface is great — a mix of flats and hills with one short steep climb toward the end of each lap. Water fountain and portable bathroom on site.

 | Bike Night at COTA Every Tuesday · March onwards 3.4 Miles · 20 Turns Southeast Austin Every Tuesday night starting in March, cyclists can ride the Formula One race track in Southeast Austin. Bike Night is fun! You're welcome to race your friends, but don't be surprised if you get passed by a family of three on a tandem bike. The world-class track is 3.4 miles with 20 turns — be ready to practice your bike handling and hill climbing on Turn One. Look for the TriClub tents and flags in the parking lot to enjoy a great meetup spot after your ride with refreshments and grilling. It's become a pretty great Tuesday night party!
