Thursday evening ride, 1st time bent ride
May 15th, 2009, 8:25am
 
I talked one of our regular upright riders into giving the Corsa a try after our regular Thursday evening ride yesterday.  Asyou can tell, he thought it was pretty cool!  However, I DON"T recommend "socks only" as regular footwear!

Robert, is that the parking lot where you normally start your ride?

Yup, that is the place.  He could ride around nice flat circles.  The building behind him is the ex- Radio Shack HQ.

I may have to come meet you one day.  I can't get there by the start time, but may be able to meet you partway.  You guys ride towards Benbrrok dam, right?  Baseball is finally over with, so I have a chance.

Greg, we ALMOST always head out towards Benbrook, usually turning around at the trailhead below Winscott, occasionally turn around at the first manned gate further on.  Would probably be good to check with me beforehand.  Next week we're thinking about doing some hill someone told us about in TCU area, but part depends on who shows up.  Not everyone enjoys hills!
My main intent for this group was to encourage biking amongst XTO employees so I'm always hoping for some beginners.  Reality is that beginners never show up!  We've got a couple of fairly regular upright riders that can definitely give you a workout.  I'll most always stay with whoever's slowest, but even then I usually end up averaging 17 or so.
We'd be glad to have you wherever you can meet up with us.  Let me know when you decide to come and I'll make sure we find you.
