Unfortunately I don't know Tee Pee Hill (yet) but this is tomorrows proposed route. Anyone see any problems with this route? Is the market a safe place to leave the car? I was trying to get more than just 6 laps at WRL. This way is 5 laps plus the trail back and forth for 60 miles.

you probably won't want to ride that - the "trail back and forth" is White Rock Creek Trail - WRCT and it's connection with WRL there at Northwest Hwy is what is under construction. You can still ride and get through the construction relatively safely - the clowns do it multiple times a week.

Given the choice I'd just drive down to the lake - find a parking spot in the shade if you can and jump on the bike. Keep the lake on your right and just follow everyone else. It isn't like you are going to be the only one out there.

This is the route I take: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1369048

What time you going to be out there? I might be able to meet you for a lap in the morning depending on timing. I gotta have my car to Plano (Independence & Parker) for some work done at 10am. I'll be riding home from there.

I can skip the extra stuff and just do the lake 6 or 7 times. I plan on making it out fairly early as I don't want to ride ALL day in the heat, maybe get there around 6:30-7:00 traffic depending. I think it's like 38 miles from my house to the lake. I'll try and find a place to park on the west side somewhere or there is that place just off the North side. Look for a white Suburban and a funny bike. Smiley

Jay,
Just today, finishing up the conference I was at all week. All I could think of was getting back to riding. On my way home, I get a call from MA. My mom wants me to go back for a visit...AAArgh! Well, that's later in the summer. And if I could redeem the time by bringing the trike, somehow, then I could go to Western MA to my old college stomping grounds where they have built miles, and miles of new trails, including rails to trails, in my absence. I am really licking my chops for an opportunity to ride them. We'll see. Ever transported a bike using Amtrak? I am thinking it would be less hassle than the airlines. Dare I even hope that the thing won't have to be disassembled? Smiley

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.
