Plano Fun Ride - 8/7
Jul 20^th, 2010, 9:20pm

Anyone know if the Plano Fun Ride (http://www.planofunride.org/ ) has a 100k route? On the greatest website on earth, it lists a 67 mile route (http://www.bicycle-stuff.com/main/01/10_rides/08_aug_10.htm#funride ). Is this a typo or have they just not updated their website?

I was looking for a 100k to do for training before HHH and thought this might be a good close one. Anyone do this ride before? There was only 1 review and that was for the 10 mile route. I don't need a lot of support - just someplace to refill water and others to ride with so I don't get run over or lost.

They have a Facebook picture link which also refers to a 100k and a 45 mile route. You might consider the Rockwall Hot Rocks ride the next week, I've done it 3 times and would think it's a good training ride for HHH.

He said due to traffic control issues, they couldn't have longer than the 30 mile route but that we could do 2 laps. Still not sure I'm going to do it - but just FYI.
