September Club Ride @ Flat Creek Crossing Ranch<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nAustin Ridge Riders
\nSaturday, September 14, 2013 – 09:00<\/p>\n

Sure Johnson City is a bit of a drive but when the trails have so much to offer you can get up a little early! We’ve also invited the fun ladies of Ride Like A Girl to join us so expect lots of smiles.<\/p>\n

CARPOOLING is strongly encouraged and…<\/p>\n
