This route has more turns than any 60 mile route I've ever seen. We should be able to turn this into a century easily...

 
Great...I really would prefer no bonus miles(just once).  AND Bud,nice rbent forum banner!

wow, I just looked at that cue card - it has almost as many turns as that county road cool breeze ride.  What made you guys choose that one?

The tour of Twelve Cities was my next option. It looked liked a lot of busy roads in Arlington.

Yeah, it's the usual choice of rough roads with lots of turns, or high traffic. Of course, if you go east, you get rough roads AND high traffic.

Cool is relative.  Just take a look at weather.com, US map.   Look at the temperatures our brethern Rando riders across the country will be riding in.  Tomorrow will be a beautiful day, and just look skyward and thank God that you're able to ride  Wink
 
Plus, the tempts for next Saturday's Spanish Fort are projected to be warmer than this Saturday.

One last note about the rando ride tomorrow. Jerry Austin(route owner) has this request...
 
Park at Bicycles Inc., southeast corner of I-20 and SW Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington.  The start/finish control is the McDonalds across the street.  McDonalds has been giving us receipts without a purchase.
 
 
All Hail Fartacus!!!
