Title: Greater Dallas 100 - May 18th Post by AustinSkater on Apr 30th, 2014, 5:40am Is anyone else considering this one?  http://www.funbikin.com/GreaterDallas100.htm Ride Belt Line Road from end-to-end for a 100 mile ride, start when/where you want. I'm planning on riding counter-clockwise, starting somewhere in the Richardson/Garland area, not sure at what time.

Title: Re: Greater Dallas 100 - May 18th Post by diannalightning on May 2nd, 2014, 10:49am Beltline is WAY too busy in the Addison area as well in Irving and Grand Prairie.  I don't know about the east side or south.

Title: Re: Greater Dallas 100 - May 18th Post by Patti on May 2nd, 2014, 4:55pm I'd love to try this. Don't know, yet, if I'll be available. The boy child has to get finished with his scout project. Every weekend between now and midnight, May 25 are reserved.  [smiley=twitchy.gif]

Title: Re: Greater Dallas 100 - May 18th Post by FlyingLaZBoy on May 8th, 2014, 11:55am You want to plan it to get through the north area (Garland through Carrollton) somewhat early, to beat the traffic - especially in Richardson.  So start near the airport and go east, or start in Garland and go west...    And watch the sections of 2 lane road down near Lancaster... Being on a Sunday, the early morning will be pretty light on car traffic -- but you'll get the church crowd later around noon! I can't do it, got other conflicts already.

Title: Re: Greater Dallas 100 - May 18th Post by MrOverdressed on May 10th, 2014, 11:38am Im a maybe for this ride.  BUT if I get up early enough, My plan is to do 1/2 of it.  Im going to catch the DART rail blue-line down to Ledbetter station.  Pedal south to Lancaster TX where I will hook up with Belt-Line and proceed counter-clockwise up Belt line (Eastern Half) back to Plano.  Letting the S-SE wind push me north.

It looks like I'll be starting at 6AM in Garland where Beltline connects to Rowlett Road, also heading CCW.
