Trinity Trail
May 5th, 2011, 9:40am
 
OK, here we go again.  Smiley
I have heard through the grapevine that there is some interest in doing the Trinity Trail from Benbrook YMCA to Ft. Worth stock yard and grab a burger this Saturday. Smiley
I am going to make it official Smiley
 
We will be meeting at the YMCA parking lot in Benbrook at 9 AM and will head north on the Trinity Trail to the Ft.W. stock yard.  
We should get there in time to see the Long Horn cattle drive and then have a great LUNCH.  Smiley
 
See you Saturday
Jerry

I can meet up with others in Oakmont Park, it is only 2.5 miles from my apartment in River Ranch. What sort of speed does the group usually ride at?  I can trike or ride my Burley depending on speeds of group.  Smiley

I don't know if it will be that way this year, but it was definitely closed last year. I'm not familiar with  a reasonable way to get past that area without finding yourself in some really heavy traffic, but you all may know the area better than I do. By the way, I'd love to join you if I can. I'll have to check the family schedule tonight.

(http://www.mayfest.org/at-mayfest/) Looks like the event is definately blocking normal traffic according to this page anyway.

I sent an email to the Mayfest office and asked if we would be able to ride through the park on the trail.
We may have to reschedule our ride .  cry
I will post as soon as I hear from them.

I'm guessing no one has heard anything yet about access to TT through the park yet. Guess I'll check in the morning.

No one from the Mayfest office has returned my email or phone call.  
Talked with Tom and Ken, we are going to start the Trinity Trail as planned at 9 AM at the YMCA in Benbrook and head to Ft. Worth. If we are stopped at the Mayfest, so be it.
If not, stock yard here we come.  Smiley
