Austin ATX/ Central Texas Kappa Group

With church, football, and laundry I imagine everyone's Sunday may be spoken for, so I'm keeping an eye on the forecast for Saturday (I know I know, college football is on too) and it looks like they're calling for the rain to be isolated and cleared up mostly by lunch hour. With that said, and for those of you wanting to attend, I think we should plan on meeting up at 12:30ish Saturday in Wimberley at the HEB. Wimberley is a great tourist town for those that have not been. There is a bunch of shops there in the square for those that would like to get some shopping in earlier if they would like. This would give us plenty of time for a meet n greet and the route should only take a little over an hour before we head home. Of course depending on where you live, your total travel time will vary.

We'll take a quick poll of those that arrive and see if there is anywhere along the route that others would like to see or do. Currently, the route I've set is to travel south out of Wimberley on RR12 to Canyon Lake turning west at FM 32. Along, this route we can stop at the Devil's Backbone Overlook. We'll then keep heading west until we turn south onto FM 3424 and then continue into Canyon Lake where we will turn east onto FM 306. Passing through Canyon Lake on FM 306 we will turn south onto S Access Rd which will take us by the USACE Canyon Lake Dam. We will continue on this road crossing FM 2673 where the road will now become River Rd. This road will be slow going and meander along the Guadalupe River where the trees should be in full color this time of year. This will take us into New Braunfels where we will reach Loop 337. Heading east on Loop 337, we will exit immediately on to Rock St which will become Gruene Rd. This will take us into the town of Gruene. Similar to Wimberley for those that have not been, it is a very small tourist town with shops and home to Texas' oldest continually operated dance hall. For those that would like to spend some time here they may. Otherwise we will continue north onto Hunter Rd where we will reach FM 306 again. We will head east on FM 306 until we reach the Buckee's at IH35 ending our cruise together.

Howdy ATX Kappas! I hope your Thanksgiving was plentiful and thankful. I know this month is already very busy with the upcoming holidays so I haven’t organized a meet this month. Please ensure you enjoy your family and friends as you celebrate and we finally will be able to say goodbye to 2020.

I would like to organize a January meet on 1/9, weather permitting, for those who would be interested. As previously mentioned I would like to make the arrangements north of Austin this time. If there is a location or route you would like to recommend, please feel free to make a suggestion in the comments. Otherwise I’ll have one designated by the end of the week.

As far as February, I intend on joining the SWSC’s annual Kerrville run 2/19-2/21. The run will be all day 2/20 starting at 8:30am, following the famous “twisted sisters” route so we’ll most likely be spending the weekend out there. For those of you who haven’t made the trip before, this is probably Texas’ most famous stretch of highway. It’s full of elevation changes and turns, along with some of the best scenery Texas has to offer. I believe the SWSC members will be staying at the Best Western on Sidney Baker Hwy in Kerrville if you would like to make reservations there or in the neighboring hotels if you choose. You can follow updates for this run at the following link. Kerrville 21

As promised, I have set up a north Austin run. Well Northwest of Austin to be specific. I haven't ran this route myself before, but it was recommended on a motorcycle forum I'm on. So, I will be experiencing it for the first time. I have attached a map of the route for your viewing pleasure. Tenatively scheduled for Saturday 1/9 at 11am. If the weather looks like it wont work out then we can look at rescheduling for a later date. I look forward to seeing you there.
I've set the meet point at Lakeline Mall in front of the old Sears. Where we can head out via Lakeline Blvd where we will head west on to RR1431. We'll head through Jonestown and north of Lago Vista and will turn north onto Cow Creek Rd. We will follow this route along the creek until we reach FM1174 were we will turn north again and then we will turn east onto FM1869 before reaching the town of Oatmeal. FM1869 will take us into Liberty Hill where I have our run ending at the Sonic on Hwy 29. From here the fastest route back to Austin would be taking Hwy 29 south to Hwy 183. From there your journey home will ultimately decide your final direction. This route is roughly 45 miles long and should take approximately a little over an hour.

Hello !!!!! I just found this group. I wonder if you still accepting Austin area members. I live in Giddings (between ATX and Hou on the 290).
I got my Sky just 4 months ago and I am loving it. I even started a Spanish YouTube channel related to it.
I was passing through the 50's crisis without any hobby. Now I am keen and enthusiastic.
I hope to hear from you soon.

about my car.
