Title: Euless to Grapevine Lake area
Post by jman on Nov 11^th, 2007, 10:26am

Happy days are here again, Sat morning just after 9AM 4 recumbents pedaled northbound from Trinity Blvd and Post Oak in Euless. The bents were familiar except the 4th which is now a member of the rbent N.Texas group. There were 2 EZ-1's an '03 SC Lite and newer AX version plus a Rans Vrex and Lightening Thunderbolt.
Carolyn and Dianna rode with me and Eddie north toward Grapevine and the now unflooded Lake region.
We put in a fun 40 mile ride with lots of climbs and a few streets we had to share with lots of Sat. morning cars.
I'm loafing today but look forward to many more rides like yesterday's again on my "new-used EZ1 SC Lite.

Congrats.

And I'd just like to say I envy you your River Legacy rides. When we lived in Lewisville, I used to take my wife down there to ride her handcycle on the river path. It's too long a haul from Allen, though, and we don't have anything as nice as the River Legacy path up this way.

Yep, RLP is VERY nice, compared to White Rock...

HEY GANG, GRAPEVINE WAS A BLAST, WE STOPPED FOR LUNCH IN OLD DOWNTOWN BEFORE RIDING ON TO THE LAKE TRAILS. THEY WERE VERY NICE AND WIDE. BRAVO GRAPEVINE FOR THE GREAT PATHS, THEY EVEN HAVE ON PARALLEL TO hWY 26.
We ended up riding 40 miles total with lots of little climbs along the route.
l8tr,
Joe

Terry, this may get you started. I can't find a link for the entire path. We ususlly catch the trail off of Hwy 26 around the winery. Good luck and sorry an I can't be of more help. I just know how to get there.
