RBENT Ride this Sunday, June 20
Jun 15th, 2010, 8:30pm
 
I threw this up as a poll so I could get a head count on how many are coming to lunch.  
 
START:  8 a.m. from the parking lot in front of the Tom Thumb/Chipotle on the corner of Hulen Drive and Bellaire Drive South in Fort Worth.  The idea is to ride 3-4 hours of on-bike socializing and then have lunch at the Red, Hot N Blue Memphis BBQ for off the bike socializing You can use this address to map to:  3000 S. Hulen St. #110
 
Everyone needs to bring a dollar or a park pass to get through Benbrook lake park.
 
Routes:

 
Long Route - we'll play it by ear, but I figure we can have 50-60 miles.  Some will be trail, some lightly traveled road with just one short mile stretch with no shoulder but I can shorten that to 1/4 mile if you guys don't mind adding one hill.  I figure we'll do a lot of chatting and probably end up with a 15-17mph average, so if that's doable for you, come have some fun with us on the long route!  NO DROPS though we may throuw in a couple sprints or a drag race.  I've also got a great 4.5 mile loop we could do a TT on.

Short route: Will be all Multi-use trail or park roads that are very lightly traveled by (so far) respectful drivers.  There is lots of bathroom access and a store halfway.  The route that I have mapped out is 31 miles, but you can turn around at any point you like.  The climbing is light and the pace will be easy - 10-12 mph average and again, no drops.  If you choose to turn around, there is lots to see in Benbrook lake park - splash in the water or watch the remote controlled airplanes that ahve their own airstrip in the park.  I have the route as a gps file if you'd like it:
My wife Alexis will lead this group and take extra special care of everyone.

And if you want to do a couple extra miles, you can see the Big Cow - seriously - it's like 15 ft tall!
 
We'll meet back up for lunch, and a good time will be had by all - come on out!

I didn't realize the 20th was Father's Day. It's not going to work out for me.

I'll be there unless I die in a gruesome accident between now and then
 
Note: If that happens this post will be considered both profound and bizarre Smiley

Father's day may be an issue, have to see.  We responded yes to the poll, but since we are both injured, we would only be joining in for lunch.  Hope to see you Sunday,
Shellene (and Bryan)
