DFW Airport double loop, Friday Nov 23, 10AM
Nov 16^th, 2012, 7:38am

Since the "Black Friday" after Turkey Day is a non-working holiday for most (and most people like to avoid shopping crowds), how 'bout if we meet at the AVAYA parking lot on Freeport (north of 635) for a 10AM rollout, to do double loop (CW, then CCW) of DFW Airport? Relatively moderate pace, since Terrie and I will be on the tandem -- and you can do one loop, or two, your choice! Rest stop(s) at the Shell station on 114... Optional lunch somewhere (Hard Eight?) afterwards...

Quote from Phantom Rider on Nov 16^th, 2012, 7:03pm:

Pace?

Probable pace 14-16 on level ground, slower on climbs -- this will be NO DROP as much as possible, with regrouping points as we decide. It's not a race, it's just cruising at a reasonable pace. The plan is to do the first "CW' loop all the way around to the Shell station on 114 for a break, then circle back the other way. If faster riders want to do the Tower Loop, they can, for a 3 mile addition.

I vote for Hard Eight - I have been wanting to try it for a while and have heard good things about it.
