Ride Profile

Ride Description

Nice hilly ride of about 38 miles.  Beautiful scenery with lots of rolling hills and a few steep climbs.  The last few miles back to the finish are a killer.

Start Location and Parking

Start at the Chappell Hill visitor information center.  Lots of parking here along with water and restrooms.  Turn north and leave town to strart your ride.  The turnaround is at Washington on the Brazos State Park.  Here you will find more restrooms, water and a soda machine with water or soft drinks.  Also, this is a beautiful and picturesque place if you want to sit down and take a break.  Perfect spot for regrouping if you have a slower climer or two with you.

Ride Directions

Food, Coffee and Juice Joints close to Start/Finish

There are several convenience stores in Chappell Hill.  Also, Beaver's restaurant (right across the street from the start/finish) is a real treat. 

Food, Water, & Bathrooms along route

On this route the only bathrooms and drinks are at the park and at the start/finish.  The distance between the two is only 19 miles so it should not pose a problem.
