I love this ride because it supports my aunt's school. Seriously Rosedale does the most amazing things, my aunt helps place older kids in jobs so they can somewhat assimilate into the real world. She gets a lot of them working and some even into apartments or halfway houses, this is their primary fundraiser. Close to the start there are people out cheering, even students from Rosedale. There are some rollers but a lot of flatter and wind on the course.

If you want hills though look to the Spirit Reins in Liberty Hill (great route in my backyard with nice hills but not a quad killer), Pedal Through the Pines in Bastrop (ouch you will feel the burn in the Park) or something on the west side of Austin.
