The 2009 Tour de Gruene was a big success, with more than 1,800 riders on the first morning’s ride (choice of 15, 30, or 50 mile course), and close to 300 in the afternoon’s individual time trial and Sunday morning’s team time trials. They maxed out registrations for the time trials as usual. Video was taken by Lee N5NTG on Saturday, from the vantage point of 1st Crossing and 2nd Crossing, with some footage from the TT Turn-around near the end of the day. We’ve condensed 8 hours of bike riding down to about 8 minutes.

Members of Hill Country REACT assisted the Guadalupe Valley Amateur Radio Club in providing ham radio operators along the route, looking for issues affecting the riders’ safety, etc. We’ve compressed about 8 hours of event down to 8 minutes in this video, but no fast forwarding on the dial was used. Lance Armstrong was unable to participate in this year’s event due to a reported scheduling conflict with his ex.
