ARR Cranksgiving @ Reimers Ranch, Saturday, Jan 21

[June Bug]

 

After a lengthy hiatus (3 years?) due to Covid and bad weather,  ARR's annual fund raiser is ON. 

• Information and registration link:  Cranksgiving
• This year the event is at Milton Reimers Ranch Park (a Travis County park). Bring $5 cash money per person for the gate entry fee.  They do not accept credit or debit cards, gold, access info for your FTX crypto wallet or (other) sad stories. 
• Registration is on-line only. 
• Cut off time to begin a last lap is 2 pm.  Raffle begins at 3 pm.

Here's how it works.  Ride a lap (GPX route) and get a ticket for each lap completed.  Earn extra tickets by stopping for a wee bit of trail work at work stations along the way.   At the end of the day, all tickets are entered into a raffle with a lot of swag. 

In years past, you could arrive and begin your laps at any time. I'll assume this format remains.

Anyone from SW Austin want to carpool to help with limited parking?

A drizzly early morning turned into a stellar afternoon, big turn out, laps were ridden, trail work got done, everyone ate, swag was raffled.  

Invested a bit of social capital by making sure the park rangers were fed. 

Altogether a wonderful day. 

If you haven't been on Hamilton Pool Rd in awhile,  the amount of development going on is simply staggering.  A huge shout out to Milton Reimers and family for starting the process that led to Reimers Ranch going into the public domain, and the voters who had the sense to vote in favor of the bond issue that purchased Milton Reimers Ranch.  There were comments at the time that this would be the last chance to transform substantial acreage into a county park, and this has proven to be true.
