Paluxy Pedal (Read 1077 times)

aikigreg Moderator recumbent ninja Posts: 3685	Paluxy Pedal Sep 30^th, 2009, 8:40pm I've obviously not ridden enough hills lately. Thinking of doing the paluxy pedal in good old Glen Rose. Anyone coming? http://www.paluxypedal.com/ rides of 29-80 miles, includes the WALL for the longer routes.

I've done it the last 2 years and while the hills are a pain the real problem is the chipseal which is especially rough the last 10-12 miles.

I've done this ride every year, since it's inception in 2003. The first year there was about 25 riders. It's been great to see the popularity of the riding in the Glen Rose area grow over the years. Adam has done a good job.

"The Wall" is a real kicker on a bent. Although a few miles afterwards, there is a really long descent, several miles long.

They usually have good 'give aways', and tons of pizza at the end.
