Yes, we ride every Tuesday and Thursday. We meet for breakfast a little before 8:00 AM at Barbec's, and start riding at Sunset Bay about 9:00 AM. There is no interview. Once you ride with the Clowns, you become one. You can get your official Clown tatt applied either at the shop across the street from Barbec's or by Clown #1, Texas prison style (sewing needle and ballpoint pen ink). You'll gain instant respect, if you have it applied by Clown #1. :D |

I'll be looking for more and more miles after my inaugural "End of the Hibernation Ride", otherwise known as the RBM Trike Ride, tomorrow.

The Trail is not flooded. Early yesterday afternoon, Bob M and I turned around at the Central Expy. bridge, as we were headed North, because the tunnel was full of wet mud. Earlier, John S. somehow made it past the tunnel, but went down in mud at the Forrest Ln. bridge. The City was in the process of removing the mud. Maybe the cleanup will be complete by Thursday morning. |

Jerry, there may be as many as four Clowns doing some early riding at WRL. They skip breakfast and get in as many as two laps, before the rest of us show up in the Sunset Bay parking lot somewhere between 8:30 and 8:45. By the way, Aug 5 is on a Wednesday. We will be at the lake on Tuesday Aug 4 and Thursday Aug 6. I too drive a Grand Caravan, so I could haul my Silvio 2.0 to the lake for you to take back to Missouri. Wouldn't do it though, because the Silvio has a mind of it's own and wants to change lanes, unexpectedly. You might find yourself crashing through the woods at 45 mph at the bottom of one of those steep Missouri hills. :D |

We order breakfast at 8:00 and arrive at the Sunset Bay parking lot somewhere between 8:30 and 8:45. Some of our riders don't eat breakfast and do a lap or two, before the Barbec's crowd arrives. If you ride down the White Rock Creek Trail, be aware that it's totally blocked off about a 1/3 mile south of the lower Anderson-Bonner parking lot. You have to take the street from the parking lot and ride to Forrest Lane to get back on the Trail. |

Title: Re: Recurring Clown Ride Post by richardr on Nov 11th, 2015, 6:02pm I've been out of town for a week. Is breakfast at Barbec's at 8 or 9 now? If it's 8, when will it move to 9? |

Title: Re: Recurring Clown Ride Post by richardr on Dec 8th, 2015, 8:46pm Clown Christmas Party: Vicky and I would like to host the Clown Christmas Party on Thursday Dec 17. Our address is 2830 Silverspring Rd, Carrollton TX. We are near the south-west corner of Marsh and Keller Springs. From Marsh, turn west on Carriage Lane (there is a traffic light), then take the first road to the North (Wippoorwill). Go to the end of the road and follow it as it turns west. Our house is the 5th one on the south side. It is the one with massive Christmas lights. We will plan on eating at about 6, but feel free to come over earlier, rush hour traffic can get bad going north on Marsh. We will provide Swedish meatballs, beanie-weinies and a fruit tea punch. Please bring a dish or desert and drinks, if you prefer something else. Please bring a gift valued at about $15. For the usual Chinese gift exchange. Rbent friends are also invited. Please post on this thread or e-mail me if you can attend. |

No, we are not finished. We ride all year long, weather permitting, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A few of us occasionally do the PBA/GDB Plano East Side ride on Saturdays: http://www.greaterdallasbicyclists.com/content.aspx?page_id=87&club_id=747333&item_id=491055. Others may ride elsewhere on weekends. I, personally, am not riding this weekend, because I will be with a visiting relative. You might want to consider doing the Turkey Roll Bicycle Rally in Denton on Saturday: http://www.dentonbreakfastkiwanis.org/news.php?entryid=7. At least one of the Clowns has signed up for the ride. Some Clowns and/or RBENT members have been known to do this ride on Sunday mornings: http://www.greaterdallasbicyclists.com/content.aspx?page_id=87&club_id=747333&item_id=490638 |

Title: Re: Recurring Clown Ride Post by reever on Nov 18th, 2016, 9:26am That Texas Motor Speedway sounds cool. I think I'll cruise over there Sunday. Maybe sometime around ninish or tenish. |

Title: Re: Recurring Clown Ride Post by reever on Nov 21st, 2016, 12:00pm I had a nice solitary ride out at the speedway. I took two bikes and one of them had the brake rubbing on the left side. It (and the wind) slowed my average speed to 15.4mph. So I got out my other bike and took off. Much better. Saw a time trialer on my last lap--aero helmet and all. As we passed I did a U-turn and smoked him quite easily. Of course, it might have been his first of 50 laps. On my way there I saw a road sign that said "SHOULDER WORK". If you'd come out jrob maybe they could have fixed yours! Ended up with 31 miles at 18.4mph. Really like that loop. |

Title: Re: Recurring Clown Ride Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Dec 6th, 2016, 8:38am Well, nutz, I was going to hook into Tuesday's breakfast and riding, but obviously, it's still wet and crappy!!! I'm planning to go out there at about 4PM, instead, probably parking at the Bathhouse lot near the portapotties... get a couple laps in before dark, then another lap or so with lights. |

Title: Re: Recurring Clown Ride Post by jayg on Apr 15th, 2020, 7:01pm Sunset Bay is still barricaded off. Propose we meet at Norbuck Park tomorrow morning (Thurs 4/16/20) at 9:00 AM (Kenny and I plan on being there). The two port-a-potties that were there on Tuesday are still there, as of 5:45 PM this afternoon. The potties that were at the Bath House have been removed. The one on the top of Dreyfus Hill is still there, and is accessible. All the potties on East Lawther, between Mockingbird Ln and Big Thicket are still there, and accessible. All the potties that were in the parking lots off West Lawther have been removed. The potties in the park on Fair Oaks Blvd, just East of the SoPac, are being serviced and are in good shape. Didn't go in any of the other accessible potties, so don't know what their conditions are. The ones at Norbuck Park were emptied by the honey wagon on Tuesday, and left dry. No TP and no sanitizing liquid. Bring your own TP and air freshener. :P |
