There’s no obvious signage heading east on the trail about the closure, so if you’ll end up having to detour back to Congress if you need to continue east on the trail. Txdots suggested detour is biking down Riverside 🙄

Txdot is gonna Txdot, so this is on PARD / Trail Conservancy to better communicate these closures with advanced detour signage.

Austin Family Rides is doing a Halloween cruise through Hyde Park next Saturday, and everyone's welcome. Costumes very much encouraged.

When: Saturday, Oct 24. Meet at 9:00, wheels down at 9:30

Where: Shipe Park (4400 Avenue G), and we start and end there

Two rides:

  1. Classic ride (3–5 miles):for families on cargo bikes and kids who are confident riders. No-drop, low-traffic streets, lots of regroup stops.

  2. Shorter, slower ride (1.5–3 miles): for kids pedaling themselves who might be a bit slower, with parents riding alongside.

We'll be back at the park around 10:30 for snacks and playground time. Bring helmets, water, and snacks.

If you're an experienced rider and want to help, we could use a couple of people to ride float and sweep on the shorter ride. Drop a comment or message me.
