Round 3 - April 14

"Ride to Castell"

This route begins at TJ's KTM store in Austin and travels to the "Y" in Oak Hill. From there we'll travel west on some excellent hill country paved and dirt roads to the Castell General Store (along the Llano River) for lunch ( https://castellgeneralstore.com ). After that, we'll have more fun on paved and dirt roads as well as multiple crossing of Sandy Creek. We'll be travelling thru several huge private ranches with roaming livestock and amazing views.

The GPS tracks will actually start/stop at Oak Hill - but we'll end the ride at a small store/gas station at the intersection of Hamilton Pool Road/12. At this point the ride is over. It will be a good location to gas up and/or grab snack before heading home.
