I'll take a shot at directions from the TRE to the meeting spot. From the station, take 9th street down to Throckmorton street. Turn right on Throckmorton till it "T's" into Belknap street. Make a left on Belknap and then the first right on Taylor. Stay on Taylor till it dead ends in a parking lot. There's a VERY steep hill heading down into that parking lot, so watch you speed. You don't want to crash into the cactus filled landscaping in the middle of the parking circle (I can attest to by experience!). Right north of that lot you can pick up the Trinity trail system. Where you come out of the parking lot on to the trail there is a bridge. DO NOT cross that bridge. Instead, make a left on the trail, cross another bridge a short distance down the trail, and then make a left after crossing the bridge. Stay on the trail approximately 8 miles and you'll come to a low water crossing which you should cross and then the trail will dump you out on to Bellaire street. Make a right and stay on Bellaire until you come to the first stop sign. To your right at the stop sign will be the entrance to another bike trail. Take it about 1.5 miles where it will end in a parking lot. Take the road up the hill leading out of the parking lot. At the top of the hill go straight across to pick up another bike trail. This bike trail will meet up with Winscott road at a light. Take Winscott to your left and a little over 1/2 mile there's the YMCA on your left.
My best guess is the total distance from the TRE to the YMCA is about 14 miles. If that's too far, you could meet them at the bridge near the Taylor street parking lot (the one I said NOT to cross) and continue with the group from there up to the stockyards, maybe 3 miles or so.
