Mesquite Tue/Thur
May 8th, 2012, 12:16pm
 
Dave R and I are riding the Poteet route tonight (5/8), 6PM rollout, if anyone would like to join in...  probably a 16-17ish rolling speed in flat areas, not a hammerfest.  ~33 miles total, finishing at dusk.

I'm doing the Mesquite route tonight (5/17), departing at 6PM.  Probably rolling at a 16mph pace, there's at least one new rider coming out.

They're finally making some progress out there... the U-turn under Hwy 80 is open at Collins Rd, and they've just recently repaved that crappy section of Paschal Rd just east of there.  Or you could continue down the service road to the new concrete on Lawson, which is bike-able but not open to cars yet.  They even re-did the track crossing at Larkin and Scyene near the Mesquite Airport!  Woohoolelujah!    Smiley Smiley

Bumping -- I'll probably be doing a "Casual pace" ride in Mesquite tonight, escorting newer riders...

Nice ride tonight...  T and I finished with 28 miles, which was pretty cool...  gave some folks a ride on the Margarita Machine around the parking lot after we were done, which everybody enjoyed...
 
Here are the 5:30ish folks
 

 
 
Rollout / warmup
 

 
Guess what they're selling on Lawson Rd??
