Austin - Circle to Steiner Ranch

This was a challenging ride with some very steep ups and downs. With one exception, all roads were either residential or on major highways with wide shoulders. The one exception was the steepest part of the climb on Ranch Road 2222 just a little before it hits Ranch Road 620. There was no shoulder. On the uphill side, fortunately, there was a paved drainage area on the side of the highway that I was able to ride on so that I wasn't within the uphill lane. Given the steepness, I was going pretty slowly.
