    Little late now I guess. Tuesday night ride leaves Coppell Bicycles plus at 6:00. about 25 miles. It is a drop ride, but it usually breaks up into 2-3 groups. Fast group averages 20-21 Second group is usually about 18-19 and slower group at around 16.

    Hopefully I will be in town next week so I can make it out. Its a fun ride.

    We are likely moving to Valley Ranch in a year or so too.
    It's not too bad if you stay out on the road sections, I agree that the trails get way too congested with runners and such though!

They managed to get all 3 strikes in 2 years time. I'll be happy to tell you about it if we get around to a group ride.
    This. I lived half a block from the WRLake store. WORST service I received by a long shot.

    For my monies, Dallas Bike Works is the place to be! I picked up a '10 Orbea on clearance in Jan this year from them. My girlfriend also bought an Orbea last summer, after we went 3 other places and were turned off by all of them.

    Bicycle retail sales and full service.

    Thats cool. I have never actually ridden out there. Out here in Flower mound I can ride for 15 minutes and be in rural north texas with no cars and no traffic. Its nice.

    I live in flower mound so I am a ways away. I usually hit up a group ride on tuesday night in coppell, crit on wednesday in irving, and do a race our tour on saturday and a recovery ride on sunday at Sun and Ski in Grapevine.

    maybe one of these days we can hook up around your hood and do some laps around white rock or something.

    I live in Oak Cliff. I want to do the Muenster ride but our vacation starts that weekend. My son also has a triathlon that day. Then we go to the airport.

    I try and ride 20-25 miles every weekend all year round.

    I'm planning to do the short route at the RBM May Wild Ride. I don't want to go over the dam and cut tires like a ton do on my road bike. I'll probably just do the 16 mile route and see how fast I can go.

    In June there is the Peach Pedal out west and the Goatneck in Cleburne. I'll probably ride 50 or so for each of these.

    I'm also considering the HtH in August.

    I don't do triathlons in July and August because I don't want to die in the heat running, so I do more rides.

    I'm game for almost any ride.
    There is a good ride in Muenster next weekend. Usually windy, and some nice hills. I will be doing the 60k there. Peach Pedal is a good one, as is the honey tour.

    Where abouts do you live. I am always looking for more people to ride with.

    It's in August this year. If anyone wants to get a group together to do it, I can be there. I've never ridden 100 miles, but I'm pretty damn certain I can make the Hells Gate cutoff time and finish.

    I've got a friend soon to sell me his Trek 2.3 for a pretty decent price... I'm looking forward to finally being able to ride regularly.

    The bug hit me when I was in Seattle but that was pointless 9 mo a year.
