About Outlaw Trail
Each year, the Round Rock Parks and Recreation Department hosts the Outlaw Trail 100 bike tour featuring 10 mile, 25 mile, 40 mile, 50 mile, 63 mile, 100 K and 100 mile loop courses on county roads through historic Williamson County.

Outlaw Trail isn't competitive; it is an opportunity to join cyclists from across Texas for a ride across Williamson County. There are 9 rest stops set up along the trail for cyclists to grab some snacks or a drink. Riders can ride at their own pace and rely on support from sag wagons and rest stops throughout their ride. The tour closes at 5 p.m. so cyclists should select a course they can finish within that time period.

Date
This event is Saturday, October 17, 2009 with riders taking off at 8 a.m. with a staggered start with 100 milers leaving promptly at 8 a.m. No rider will start after 8:30 am. The course will close at 5 p.m.

Parking is available in the Dell Diamond parking lot (at park entrance). The start/finish line will be outside the Old Settlers Tabernacle (which is where packet pickup is held.)

Start/finish location
The start/finish line will be located on Harrell Parkway by the Dell Diamond in front of the Old Settlers Tabernacle.  Cyclists will park in the furthest North parking lot of the Dell Diamond and walk to the Old Settlers Tabernacle for packet pickup on event day and/or registration.  Since we are no longer at the pavilion, please arrive early so you can go to the tabernacle, get your packet, get your bike, and be ready to take off on time. There is an RV show taking place at the Dell Diamond that day so after your ride you can check out the show if you wish!

Rules
This event will be held rain or shine unless extremely dangerous conditions exist. No refunds will be made. Participants will be started according to distance traveling – longest distance riders will leave first. All traffic laws must be obeyed at all times. Helmets are required.  Please ride only what you have trained for.

Safety
Whether this is your first time riding in a tour, or you're a seasoned rider, please review the safety guidelines and recommendations for Outlaw Trail. There's no such thing as being too careful! All cyclists are expected to know the rules of the road and obey them!

If you are new to cycling, you may want to consider a training course from Bicycle Sport Shop and/or joining their riding group on a few pre-rides to make sure you're ready to ride in a large event. First and foremost, we want to be careful and enjoy a safe ride.
