Funny, just after my last post here, my car went south. Thus began my odyssey of dealing with the commuting traffic on a daily basis. Now that I am newly back in my auto, I'd like to try this ride. Boy, do I need to kick back with other cyclists, to reduce built up motoron anxiety. Smiley

I'm likely to start after school lets out. Glad to see it's still happening.

The last 2012 Thursday evening ride occurred yesterday, culminating in dinner at Smashburger on University. We should start back up again on March 14, 2013 after Daylight Saving Time resumes. We don't get much turnout from Rbenters, mostly upwrongs, but maybe next year will be different.
Hope everyone gets in some safe riding over the winter!

FYI, the starting point for the Thursday evening Trinity Trail ride has been moved. We're now leaving from the basketball court off the trail underneath the Lancaster street bridge at 5:20. Fort Worth started getting picky about putting money in the meters at our old location, so we moved it to be near free parking.

Is the TRE or DART Rail close to the start? That's how I'd be coming down, and I am determined to do this ride. It would have to start after school lets out for the summer, after this week.

So, is this ride still going on? How many attend? Is there a way to know there will be others before joining on any given Thursday? Also, could someone please pinpoint the starting parking lot on a Google map and post it so I can be sure to be at the right place at the right time? I plan on riding this when my new Catrike 700 comes in probably a week or two from now.

I stopped doing this ride when I began bicycle commuting, but I still get the emails for it. It's a good bunch of folks to ride with, but I'm not sure they monitor the RBent site much anymore due to lack of interest on our part.
