Title: Paluxy Pedal Ride
Post by Cookie on Sep 7^th, 2011, 10:45am

My wife just informed me that there is going to be a ride not too far from us next month in Glen Rose, Tx.
Has anyone done this ride before. "Quicksilver Paluxy Pedal Ride". Looks like it would be a fun ride. Looked at picture of past ride and didn't see any recumbent bikes. [smiley=sad.gif]

Cookie! The Texas Time Trials are in Glen Rose Sept. 22-24! Plenty of recumbents in them. Choose your race, from one lap to 500 miles! www.tt24tt.com

I've done it twice, very hilly in the middle including "The Wall" which if I remember is a 19% grade, quite a bit of chipseal especially the last 12 miles.

I have no urge to do it again.

I do the Paluxy Pedal every year and wouldn't miss it. I can't get up the Wall without walking, but the ride is worth it just for the downhill run somewhere past the Wall. I've never seen more than 2 or 3 recumbents there. May be moving that weekend, but if not I'll make it.

I did the 100k ride last year. It is a beautiful ride with a lot of hills. Challenging but very rewarding once you get through. I will be doing the 80 mile this year. Hope to see more recumbents this year.
Remember the hills make you a stronger rider.
