Quote from catroad254 on May 10th, 2009, 3:00pm:I did the "Head for the Hills" metric century ride in Cedar Hill this weekend. This the third year for this ride and they put on a very good ride. The route has virtually no chip seal and is mostly low traffic roads. The rest stops are well stocked and had plenty of porta-johns. Rest stop five was especially good with Chick-fil-a sandwiches and masseurs to take any cramps out. Turns were well marked as were any defects in the road surface. Red Robin hamburgers served at the end of the ride.
I didn't see many bents. Rick(Beertruck) from Houston was there as well as another Corsa rider whose name escapes me. More bents should do this ride. In spite of the name the amount of climbing is not bad at all and there are a couple of really nice downhill runs.

Ken,
The 3rd Corsa rider was me. I first met you at the Turkey Trot ride last year. Also, I talked to you in the church parking lot after the Lancaster Country ride (I was on the red Actionbent MidRacer).
This ride was great. No killer hills, fun rollers, and mostly smooth roads (I did the 40-mile route).
Despite the verbal warning given at the staging area, and markings on the pavement, a DF rider crashed and burned on the 1st blind curve. Looked like he may have broken his arm. He was in the ditch being administered first aid by the Cedar Hill FD when I passed.
