Urban Assault Ride – Austin, TX

Texbiker.net Posted on by

The Urban Assault Ride™ is a funky bike scavenger hunt that involves street-smart riding, obstacle courses, and a huge after party. Mental muscle is just as important as bike skills as teams of 2 choose their own course to checkpoints around the city.

The event is well known for its checkpoints where physical and mental obstacle courses must be completed before moving on. Kinda like American Gladiators with a demented cycling twist. The first team to hit all of the checkpoint and cross the finish line wins! Then the party begins with FREE BEER and lots more two-wheeled shenanigans!

The 17th Collin Classic is a rural bicycle rally that will start and finish at the McKinney North High School on Saturday, June 14, 2008.The ride begins at 8:00am. Offering routes of 4, 15, 22, 34, 47 and 55 miles, this event will attract families, weekend warriors and avid cyclists to celebrate life in a day filled with fun.

Our 22, 34, 47 and 55 mile routes are all single loop routes . We are travelling to the Northeast portion of Collin County in order to avoid the chip seal pavement associcated with the roads in Northwestern Collin County. We even found miles of new asphalt. Worried about missing out on the big hill at the finish of our old routes? Not to worry. We have plenty of rolling hills on our new routes that will provide plenty of challenge.
