Austin’s full moon rides fall into two categories :

• The monthly full moon ride, which happens on the weekend night (Friday or Saturday) closest to the full moon, assembling at 11:00pm and taking off between 11:30pm and 11:59pm (so don’t arrive later than 11:30pm!), generally following a different route each month, and
• The annual full moon ride, which happens on the Saturday night/Sunday morning closest to the full moon in September, meeting at 2:00am and leaving at about 2:15-2:30am, following approximately the same route each year.

(Note that we changed the schedule for monthly rides in January 2024, going from “the night closest to the full moon” to “the weekend night closest to the full moon”.)

Both rides meet at the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge (right here, or possibly under the “circle” if it’s raining), are unsupported and ‘ride at your own risk’. We try not to drop slow riders, but it can happen, so being prepared is wise — having lights, tools to change a flat, water, a cell phone, etc.
