Title: Tour Dallas Dead?
Post by Patti on Mar 31st, 2015, 1:31pm

Looks like Tour Dallas has folded its tents, as far as being a supported ride event. It appears that they still would like people to ride but no registration and no support. Anyone know what happened?

As I understand it police got to be too much $. Also heard they have had a couple of down years. Too bad as it was introduction to pay rides.

That's pretty much what I expected. Too bad though. This was always the first ride I recommended to new folks in the area. Definitely too expensive the last couple of years but always nicely organized and fun to do.

Bikin' Mike lost money the past two years. Understand Police protection costs $50,000. Then there are Port-A-Potty and barrier costs. Don't blame him for not taking another chance.

Is that the same story on the Wild Ride?  Disappointed to hear it isn't happening this year.

I first heard from a friend in PBA that it isn't happening this year. Further internet research shows no dat for the Wild Ride in 2015. It isn't listed on your site. Do you believe that it will be occurring this year?  If not I was just curious if anyone knew why.
