I've been off the bike except for very short rides for a long time, and trying to get back into it with some nice easy trips.  I'm planning on going out this Saturday about 11am from my apartment which is right next to a trinity river trail parking lot.  Planning on going on the trail paths to Benbrook lake park, then through the park for a while and turning around.  Then I'll head back past my partment and lunch at Time Love's Woodshed Smokehouse.  Anyone is welcome, but I won't be setting much of a fast pace.  Let me know if you're coming and I'll make reservations.

14-15mph on flat ground.  I figure the total distance to be less than 40 miles, but you can always just take a long extended break at one of the many places in the park to make it as short as you'd like,essentially.  You can always bring a book  

I'm thinking I'll ride over from my house and join you, but I reserve the right to change my mind and go fishing instead.  
 
It's going to be a pretty late lunch if you're going to start at 11:00 am and ride 40 miles first.

Not enough hours in the day to get it all done - I'm going to have to take a rain check on riding over in Ft Worth.  I'll try to catch you next time.
