from the Austin American-Statesman<\/p>\n
By Pamela LeBlanc<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ridden all 10 places that made the list. The first place winner \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the Barton Creek Greenbelt \u00e2\u20ac\u201d comes as no surprise. The Greenbelt, which snared 21 percent of the vote, is right in town and packed with challenging terrain. You can hop on at the trail head near Barton Springs Pool and pedal for miles, crossing streams, clattering through fields of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153baby heads\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (grapefruit-sized rocks) and generally hammering your spine while you try to stay on your bike. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a back-to-nature fix in the middle of the city.<\/p>\n
I prefer the park road linking Bastrop and Buescher state parks, but that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just me. (It also depends if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m looking for a mountain bike route or a road bike route.)<\/p>\n
