About this event

On National Celebrate Trails Day, this 8-12 mile ride travels along the Red Line Parkway, Boggy Creek Trail, Crosstown Bikeway, Shoal Creek Trail, and through Downtown. We’ll visit several parks, including Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Waterloo Park, Texas Capitol grounds, Shoal Creek Greenbelt, Pease Park, Republic Square, and Brush Square. The 12-mile ride can be shortened to 8 miles by riding the Capital MetroRail Red Line back from the Downtown Station to the MLK Station.

Those who have pre-registered for a free bike from Yellow Bike Project will be fitted for their bike ahead of the ride, at 9:30am. We will depart from MLK Station at 10:00am, and return times may vary depending on the route you choose.

The route will head south along the Red Line Parkway through Boggy Creek Greenbelt where we will stop at The Pillars. We'll continue south and then west along 5th street to the Downtown Station. We'll then ride up to our 2nd stop at the newly opened Waterloo Park.

From there we will ride through the Texas Capitol grounds along 12th Street to our 3rd stop at Pease Park. After that, we will ride down along Shoal Creek for our final park visit at Republic Square where the SFC Farmers Market will be in full swing. From there it is a few blocks along 3rd Street back to the Downtown Station. This will be the 8-mile marker and from there, riders can ride the MetroRail Red Line back to MLK Station, or ride the additional 4 miles back.

*This ride is intended to be casual and fun, but is not recommended for anyone under 14 or anyone uncomfortable on a bike. All wheels welcome!

Thank you to our sponsor, Downtown Austin Alliance and to our partners Ride Bikes Austin and Yellow Bike Project!

Ande en bicicleta con nosotros mientras exploramos la Red Line Parkway y la usamos para ir desde el este de Austin hasta el centro y disfrutar de algunos de los parques urbanos de Austin.

En el Día Nacional de Celebrar Senderos, este paseo de 8 a 12 millas recorre Red Line Parkway, Boggy Creek Trail, Crosstown Bikeway, Shoal Creek Trail y el centro de la ciudad. Visitaremos varios parques, incluidos Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Waterloo Park, los terrenos del Capitolio de Texas, Shoal Creek Greenbelt, Pease Park, Republic Square y Brush Square.El viaje de 12 millas se puede acortar a 8 millas tomando la línea roja Capital MetroRail para regreso desde la estación Downtown hasta la estación MLK.

Aquellos que se hayan registrado previamente para una bicicleta gratis de Yellow Bike Project recibirán su bicicleta antes del viaje, a las 9:00 a.m. Saldremos de la estación MLK a las 10:00 a. m. y los horarios de regreso pueden variar según la ruta que elija.

La ruta se dirigirá hacia el sur a lo largo de Red Line Parkway a través de Boggy Creek Greenbelt donde nos detendremos en The Pillars. Continuaremos hacia el sur y luego hacia el oeste por la calle 5th hasta la estación Downtown. Luego subiremos a nuestra segunda parada en el recién inaugurado Waterloo Park.

Desde allí, recorreremos los terrenos del Capitolio de Texas a lo largo de la calle 12 hasta nuestra tercera parada en Pease Park. Después de eso, viajaremos a lo largo de Shoal Creek para nuestra visita final al parque en Republic Square, donde el mercado de agricultores de SFC estará en pleno apogeo. Desde allí, son unas pocas cuadras a lo largo de 3rd Street de regreso a la Estación del Centro. Este será el marcador de 8 millas y desde allí, los pasajeros pueden viajar en la línea roja de MetroRail de regreso a la estación MLK, o andar en bicicleta las 4 millas adicionales de regreso.

Este paseo pretende ser casual y divertido, pero no se recomienda para menores de 14 años o personas que no se sientan cómodas en una bicicleta. ¡Todas las ruedas son bienvenidas!
