The short route heads north on FM 1155 for about 7.5 miles to the stop sign at FM 2193 then heads east on FM 1155 another 12 miles to Washington on the Brazos State Park.\u00c2\u00a0 There are bathroom facilities and water\/soft drinks available at the park. Watch that one big hill just a few miles north of Chappell Hill on FM 1155. It&#8217;s not called &#8220;Chappell Hill&#8221; for nothing. Eat outside at Bever&#8217;s after the ride (corner of Providence and FM 1155), one block from the start.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tylerbicycleclub.com\/killer-hill-time-trial-series\/\">Killer Hill Time Trial Series<\/a><\/h2>\n<h4>Tyler Bicycle Club<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>\n  It is time for the Killer Hill TT Series.\u00c2\u00a0 Again this year, we will be giving our riders a choice of one lap, 13 miles, or two laps, 26 miles.\u00c2\u00a0 We will have a volunteer supported \u00e2\u20ac\u0153feed zone\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for those who ride two laps.\u00c2\u00a0 The dates will be July 17th, 31st, August 14th and August 28th.\u00c2\u00a0 We will be giving away a brand new carbon wheelset,sponsored by the TBC, ETT and Simpson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Adventure Sports, to one lucky participant.\u00c2\u00a0 You must ride in three of the four events to qualify for the drawing.\u00c2\u00a0 See you on the 17th!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>New Events Added to Texbiker.net Calendar<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Bike Event: 2014 Tour de Nowhere&#39;s Paul Nichols Memorial Ride &#8211;
