Plano Cycling Club Ride 2/26
Feb 25^th, 2011, 7:34pm

The new route I found on Bikely is a bust: there's a road closed 3 turns in. Sad

Glad I did a pre-ride drive or I'd be very upset tomorrow morning! Looking for other options Saturday and/or Sunday!
Anyone want to join me on the Plano Cycling Club Saturday Eastside Ride tomorrow morning at 9:30am? I may go on my own and see if I can find a riding buddy who will go my pace. I've been averaging 15-16mph on 30+ mile rides but I'm just worried the uprights will leave me on the hills. I'll be looking to go around 35 miles if that's an option on this route (it says it's 28-45 miles). Any takers?

I hadn't planned on getting up early enough for an 8am ride...hope I don't miss it but if I do I'll try next weekend!

Also, March of Dimes is happening Saturday morning at WRL. I'm thinking about bringing the low racer out to this ride - any other RBenters going to do it? I'm up for other suggestions too!

I'm going to skip next week's pay rides, too, so I'll join you on the PBA ride.

I'm planning to do this ride at the end of the month http://www.nortexinfo.net/gfest/bike.htm . Never done it before but supposedly good hill training. And since it doesn't start until 11 - should be nice and warm too.

They also tend to take long breaks at the rest stops, so plan on being out there for a while! It's definitely a good ride route, though... Enjoy!
