I’ve ridden hard-surface bike trails in 15 states and one foreign country. I’ve never experienced one like this before. The switchbacks, twists and turns, and steep inclines make this trail more suitable for mountain bike riders, even though it’s mostly concrete. If you love a physical challenge, this is your trail, but it’s not for families out for a leisurely bike ride or for senior adults like me.
Nice short cemented trail with lots of wildflowers in early May.
Until you get near Eisenhower Park, this is a mostly flat trail. Just before the park there's one really big hill with switchbacks that's a little rough but not the worst we've seen. Solid ride...we did almost 40 round trip
We were only partially prepared for the switchbacks. Wow...those were challenging/scary and yes I probably should have walked them as is posted. 30 of the lost challenging miles ever.
Easy access at the sports complex. Surface was smooth, easy riding. Even on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, it wasn't overly crowded.
We enjoyed the ride, particularly the parts suspended over the water. Even during the week, it was quite congested but it makes sense....nice walking path in downtown SHOULD be used.
Feb 2024 the center of the trail under construction. Hard to get around but possible. Lots of restaurant close to trail.
This trail is a pretty easy but not flat 3 mile loop around the lake. It’s easy to get to and parking wasn’t an issue. The only drawbacks are that it’s kind of boring and there’s not much in the way of shade as you’re walking but if you don’t mind that then it’s a great loop!
I just moved back to my hometown of Austin, and live in a nice, quiet, safe, gated neighborhood, in Circle C Ranch. I decided to get back into road cycling, so I bought an amazing bike, and started looking for safe places to ride. To my immense shock and pleasure, I found that the Veloway was five minutes away.
This park is unique in the US. So, what a blessing. It is about 3.6 miles, very clean, safe, well kept, with no hikers, or cars. I love it, and spend an hour or so, doing laps, a few times a week, to train for long group (intermediate) rides. It is a tough course, and I love it.
I wish these were all over our country, as I have homes, and business interests, throughout the country…
