From Thursday through the beginning of next week, the entire region will be under the influence of a cool front that pushed through Wednesday night. Enjoy it because this might be the last one of those for a while. Thursday will be absolutely beautiful with highs in the 70s and lows in the lower 50s.
On Friday and Saturday, expect more of the same. Temperatures will begin to increase slightly, but highs nearing 80 degrees and lows in the 50s to low 60s should be commonplace. Best yet for riders, there should be only light winds and bountiful sunshine both Saturday and Sunday.
The same will be true of the Austin area and the entire stretch along Highway 290. The only things riders will have to content with are drivers, hills and which beer to drink.
This is potentially our last really nice dose of cooler weather before the summer heat onslaught, so try to enjoy it as much as you can. And for the riders out there, good luck and godspeed.

*The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising bike ride organized by the National MS Society. The ride is the largest event of its kind in North America, with 13,000 cyclists, 3,500 volunteers, and countless spectators along the route and at the finish line in Austin. The fundraising goal for the 2018 BP MS 150 is $14 million dollars to bring hope to many who are affected by multiple sclerosis.
