To any locals interested, there is a group of us meeting at Saterfields in New Roads for an OWS and bike ride this Saturday morning.  Tentative start time of 7 a.m.  The swim will be approximatly 30-45 mins and then we are planning on riding the River Roux bike route (or some of it) afterward.  We will have a spotter in the water with us as a look out.  We usually swim from buoy to buoy at your own pace for as long as you want. 

I'll post more details tmrw if anyone is interested.

I'm interested! Is there a charge?  How are the road conditions on that route, I've heard there are some pretty rough roads in New Roads.

Glad to see some interest.

The fee is usually $1,000,000 per person, but for this weekend only we will wave the fee, .  Its just a handful of us getting together to get some training in, nothing formal at all.  There should be a good mix of levels out there.

The roads are ok, the route takes us into St. Francisville where they are a little better.  Honestly none of us have actually ridding this route, so hopefully we'll make it, haha.

Wow, thanks for the offer and would love to go.  Unfortunately we will be in Loranger for my kids cross country meet.  I do need to ride that course soon and hopefully will catch a future group.

I can't make any promises that we'll do it again, although we should, .  I will definitly post another message if we decide to though.

The last time we did one of these training sessions was about 3 months ago, so I can't really say we "only do these on Saturdays", lol.  It's not exactly a regular thing we do, but it's definitly possible that we could do a future session on a Sunday.  I'll keep you in mind.

No Meatpie for us, we are training for Austin 70.3

Ther are a couple guys in the group doing River Roux. The rest of us had already registered for Austin before River Roux was announced.
