AUSTIN MIXTAPE VOL. 2

MAAP: Austin Mixtape, Vol. 01

Join MAAP and the Meteor for a day filled of sharing music and miles on the bike! This ride celebrates the intersection of two things we love, and answers the question — “What does the Austin cycling community sound like?”

This ride is free to join; all we ask is that you sign up via Eventbrite, mind the details included, and most importantly, make sure to include 2-3 of your top songs (recent or nostalgic) when registering. Your selections will be included in our new, evolving series of playlists showcasing the musical leanings of each city’s cycling community.

Starting with coffee at The Meteor, we’ll head northwest for a 60-mile loop of Austin’s finest hills and then end the day back where we started with MAAP providing food and drinks. The music will (of course) be provided by you, as we’ll be spinning our new collective playlist on the patio throughout the day — That way, you can bond over your favorite picks, reminisce on epic routes, or even challenge one another on your (**ahem**) questionable musical tastes as a teenager.

We’ll also have a the heatpress station set up set up offering custom MAAP Austin Mixtape Musettes. all proceeds will go to the amazing Beat4Beat, an Austin-based nonprofit providing music education to all at-risk students that desire more learning opportunities.

There will also be a killer raffle from MAAP, QUOC, The Meteor, and First Endurance with proceeds from the event benefitting Beat4Beat.

So reference those wrapped lists from last year, get those songs ready, and lay out some winter kit… we’re making a mixtape.

What you need to know:

• This is not a drop ride, but please be sure you’re comfortable keeping pace. There will be some regroup points, but as we don’t have enough ride leaders to support every single rider, we will not be able to wait longer than expected for those that fall far behind. Additionally, please make sure you download and prep the route before the ride begins.
• This is not a supported ride. You are responsible for your own nutrition, hydration, and all things mechanical. Please make sure you bring the necessary items.
• There is limited parking at The Meteor, so please plan accordingly.
