I just have to ask, is this the Dam Loop and the long climb up 360 to finish the ride?

I used to ride this route and every week we did Bee Caves and I would usually climb faster than my group. No one minded and I would just slow down at the top of a hill and wait...sometimes I would get a couple of hills ahead of the group but I would always wait.

You really do need to get up the hills on your own and it's nice when you do find someone that rides them at the same pace...especially on windy days when you can share the workload.
