Capital City Skate 2026 - Saturday, September 26
Distance: ~17.5 miles
Meet up: 7:45 pm / Roll out: 8:00 pm
Start and end: The Long Center Terrace, 701 W Riverside Dr, Austin, TX 78704
Co-leads: Gus, Roxy, and Tanisha
Route: Montopolis Bridge | 183 | Govalle Park | Downtown
The big one. Out east over the Montopolis Bridge, up along 183, through Govalle Park and back downtown - all after dark, all in neon.
Neon themed clothing is encouraged but not required. Post-skate food at Taqueria de Diez - highly recommended!
Heads up on distance: at ~17.5 miles this is the longest route of the weekend, with an 8:00 pm rollout. Plan for a late night. If you're not confident at this distance, Saturday morning's Barton Springs Roll (~9.5 miles) and Sunday's Picnic Roll are friendlier options.
Everything's Bigger in Texas: Want to get some serious miles in, fast, BEFORE this roll, stay tuned for information on another Bonus route. Only for the BOLD. See parts of the city we wont be able to get to in our other rolls, but you'll need to keep up.
What to bring: lights, front and rear - required, and this is the longest night route of the weekend. Neon, the brighter the better. Helmet, plus wrist guards and pads if you're newer. Water and a snack. Cash or card for post-skate tacos.
