Thanks, and let us know if you have any questions!
Like to cycle?
Want to introduce first year LAHers to Austin?
We are planning a new LAH event to kick off the fall semester: an Orientation Bike Ride. To introduce our first year LAHers to Austin and to the LAH community, we would like to offer them a chance to take a bike ride around town right before classes start on Monday, August 26.
I need LAH volunteers to lead these bikes rides! Design a plan for a bike ride around Austin – any distance or level of difficulty is fine. We will need a mix of all different levels – some for experts and some for beginners.
Use google maps: http://maps.google.com/ to plan your route and calculate mileage. Send me your plan by Monday, May 20. Along with your route, please include 1- estimated ride time and 2 – departure time.
A few requirements:
1- All rides should depart from CLA/East Mall Area – you could go down Speedway or San Jacinto.
2- Departure time should be sometime in the morning, by 11 am
3- Return to CLA by 1 pm (for ice cream!)
Last year, the most popular rides centered around eating. You don’t have to go somewhere to eat, but remember that it will be hot, so it is better to plan a shorter, doable ride.
Want to lead a group on foot? Those proposals are welcome too!
If you need help coming up with ideas, just let me know and I can brainstorm with you.
