I see there's no close charity ride this next Sunday.  Any interest in doing a RBENT get-together next Sunday?
We'd start at 8am from the parking lot on Bryant Irvin as it crosses over the Trinity Trail.
 
As usual, distance is totally up to you, since course is an easy out and back on the trail for up to the first 30 miles.  If you did the full 30 miler, there is a water fountain and bathroom 6.5 miles in, and then of course at 23.5 miles on the way back.  I'm sure Alexis would lead that group.  She rides at a 13 mph pace, but anyone wanting to do shorter miles could always stop and turn around and rendevous at the Art Cowsen Trailhead and wait.  The route is 100% on park roads and trails
 
Here is a link to the 30 mile or under route:

Those wanting a bit more adventure could join me on a 47 miler that goes to Aledo and back, with 30 miles of the route being the same as the shorter distance group.  We'd get a convenience store stop and go at about a 15-16 mile pace.
 
here's the map of the 45 mile route:  The Bent Cow Ride

When done, we could take an easy 1.5 mile ride down the trail at have lunch at Chipotle or Red Hot & Blue for lunch at 11:30-12.
 
If you're up for it, let me know here.

We did the 30 mile ride last spring; it was the first long ride for my wife on her new Catrike.  Awesome.
 
I'll be in San Francisco next week otherwise I would be in.

I may be able to go on the 30 mile route. It sounds fun!  And Chipotle should be great for lunch.

If Rose and I get home at a reasonable hour Saturday night, we'll ride. I'm not at all certain we will, though.

Hmmm,
Greg, my follow up didn't seem to post a few days ago.  Post in the wrong place?  Anyway, I work every Sunday.  The pay is a lifeline for me, so there is no way I can do without it.  I was so excited to finally do the Fort Worth ride with you finally, after missing all last year.  
Anyway, I will  have to just to a Thursday with you.  This week, at a conference.  Local, but   Kinda bummed.  

FYI, Sunday is July 1, not June 30...

Key, I'm available pretty much any day you want to ride, unless it's the day some of my grad work is due .
 
Joe - that sounds good.  And yes, I forgot to mention that everyone will need either a state park's pass or pay a $1 park fee.

  I only remember the correct date because it's my #1son's birthday, he'll be OMG 32years old. Man, just when I start feeling young something like this is my wake up call.
