No, why not do the Collin Classic instead?

That can't be it says "we have lost most of the smooth asphalt that we have enjoyed for the past 3 years, the pavement quality and scenery are still very enjoyable. " right on the home page  Smiley
 
My dad sure would like the tour de pepper though.  
"all the original recipe Dr Pepper you can drink is available only a short distance from the bike ride finish line"

There are lots of feed lots in that area (IIRC from the Mineral Wells 600k), I think I'd rather deal with Collin Country roads.
 
Besides which, if you train on crappy roads, you'll be faster on smooth ones  Grin
