Title: Goatneck
Post by Bud_Bent on Jul 17th, 2011, 3:39pm
The 24th annual Goatneck Bike Ride (http://www.thegoatneck.com/) is on July 30th. The ride starts at 7:30 am at the Cleburne High School. There are ride distances of 10, 27, 41, and 70 miles. It's a well run ride with great traffic control. It's also a scenic route and there might be a hill or two.

If I remember correctly, this route takes you UP the "Gaotneck Hill" that we so speedily raced DOWN at 40+ mph  ( except Terry P, of course!) during the old Texas Time Trials days...  yes?    [smiley=cheesy.gif]

Actually I've never done this rally -- I think it's time...

Let me check with headquarters, but I think we could do that. We're only 20 miles or so from Cleburne.

Yes, the 41 and 70 mile routes go up Goatneck Hill. The hills on the shorter routes don't amount to much.

That's the idea, precisely...  it's 90 miles from Rowlett!!!!  I'd rather do 70 of it at 8PM the night before...    [smiley=dankk2.gif]

I always felt the hill at the 50 mile mark was steeper than the Goatneck

Yeah for me it's not the hills, it's the chipseal!  But it's still a great ride!  I dunno if I'll be there this year or not.
