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!

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.

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.

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!!!
