Title: Dallas Red Hot Chili Pepper 100k

Seems everyone else went to the Sherman ride, I'll do that one next year.

600-800 riders
Like last year too much construction and poor road surface at the first and final 5 miles but the rest was a blast with almost no chipseal and only a few hard hills. Rest stops were pretty small with too few toilets.

Some pictures at www.lifeonabaron.blogspot.com

I "think" other than a trike I was the only recumbent there, last year maybe one other besides me, is there something about this ride people don't like?

Somewhere along Mountain Creek Parkway just north of I-20 near a housing complex, it's not an authentic covered bridge
