Here are some important dates with links to add them to your Google calendar:

April 18th - 6p-9p - The Silver Anniversary Opening Ceremony for Ride Weekend. We are still working on a the location for this event, but we will update the calendar invite with relevant information. There will also be packet pickup on Ride Day, April 20th, but you'll save time and gain some motivation by joining us at our Opening Ceremony. Calendar Link

April 20th - 7:30a-4p (or longer - camping out is one of the best parts) - The 25th Annual Hill Country Ride for AIDS- Krause Springs. Join us for an incredible weekend. Ride and volunteer with us and experience a group of people gathered to help others and celebrate community. Seriously consider camping out the night after the HCRA. One night at Krause Springs is included with your registration; it's a chance to gather around the campfire to hear stories of Austin's past and hopes for Austin's future. The whole weekend is a unique Austin/Central Texas experience. Two links for the same calendar event. All Day Version and Exact Time Version.
