We had a very nice turnout -- 20 people, by my count, including Rodney's DF riding friend. 'Twas a beautiful morning, not too hot and not too windy!!! The West group had 9 participants... we did a good mix of speed ranges, flats and climbing, some sightseeing, some inadvertent splitting up and regrouping, a rest stop at a Las Colinas coffee shop and a gas station, some sprinting, saw some handcyclists (including Cheryl S.) on the Campion Trail, and saw a motorcycle training class going on in a large parking lot, and just generally had a good 37 miles with no flats or mechanicals, with a ~15.25 average... It was a mostly low-traffic ride, with minimal stress and good conversation. We made it back about 11:30, after being advised that the Casual group was running late due to a flat problem, about 10 minutes before the Casual group arrived. Afterwards, there was some test riding going on in the parking lot, including lots of interest in Barry's new ICE trike!! I would guess that Rodney's friend will be getting 'bent REAL soon, in one fashion or another... This was followed by a fun lunch at Genghis Grill, a new discovery for some people. I know the West group enjoyed the morning -- I hope the North group did the same. Thanks again to Mark for leading that group! PB
