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.

Have you known anyone to bring a trike aboard the light rail and TRE? Bikes work fine, but trikes?

Thanks, Greg.
I rode the Dart rail and TRE all last school year, and if one of the two allowed them, I would say the TRE, because there is so much non-seat space on the ends of some of those trains, for handicapped riders. Never hurts to call, anyway.

Just tell them that it is a 3 wheeled wheelchair. I had someone comment "Hey, look a handicapped bicycle" last month while I was riding.

It was a great day for a ride! Met up with Aikigreg and Alexis, plus Ken and Tiger Mike over on the Trinity River trail system. I went with MIke and Alexis in the slower group. The clouds make for a pleasant ride, and the trails were interesting--lovely shade, but crowded for what I am used to (empty county roads). The lack of car traffic was unique. Wind off the lake provided a great breeze, but in typical Texas fashion it always seemed to be in our faces. AFterwards, 4 of us went over to Chipotle for lunch. It was good, and I brought half my burrito home. Those things are HUGE!

My thanks to Greg and Alexis for organizing/leading the ride, and to my better half, Dave for helping me get out the door this morning (overslept) and for watching the Monkeys all day while I rode!

Ditto's on that. It was great to put faces to the names Smiley

Thanks Dianna for poking along with me non a much shorter ride than the rest did. Like I always say, I don't ride fast, I don't ride far but I do ride often

I'm not very good on climbs and knew I was not going to be able to keep up on my barge Smiley

It was a fun day to ride with the cooler weather here in summertime.

I also got a few more miles in this evening. I ended the day with 57.55 miles. Not quite the 100k I wanted to do but my personal farthest in a day nonetheless.

Thanks, Patti. I am really emboldened to give it a try.

Did it not rain in Fort Worth at all? Well, the weatherman did give it a 20% chance to hit or miss everywhere in DFW. We got thumped here, briefly.
