For the love of god, don't do the mesquite ride. They should call it the Mesquite Pothole ride instead. Horrible pavement, gravel everywhere, etc. It's a risky rider and I think most of us who did it last year aren't going back.
Cross timber is fun, and I expect to do it again.
For me, here is my tentative schedule:
April 26 - Muenster or the Cleburne 200k
May 3 - Calvin's Challenge (race)
May 10 - Horse Country Time Trial
May 17 - Cross Timbers (GREAT RIDE)
May 24 - Mineral Wells - probably 300k
May 31 - Rbent 40 miler

Here is our tentative plans. What is yours Ray and I are doing the (hilly) Granbury ride this Saturday 4-19
May 17- Cross Timbers (Flower Mound) - riders get to experience riding inside of TMS
May 24 - Burleson
June 7 - Mesquite
June 14 - Collin Classic
June 21 - Italy (yeah - everybody's gotta do this one)
July 19 - Paris (probably the flattest pay ride)
July 26 - Gotneck (Ray has the course record for the 10 mile race - 22 min.)
