rbent Forum - Saturday 4/6

shellbear Posts: 476	Saturday 4/6 Apr 4^th, 2013, 8:38pm What's everyone riding in the DFW area this Saturday? Looking for something 40-60 miles at a decent pace (14-16 mph). The GDB Airport ride will be my default choice but obviously I won't be able to keep up with the fast group.

John G, the ride leader, told me they were averaging about 14.6 mph. I do like the East Side ride, I thought it was 35 miles or under, although I know it depends on who shows up. If no one else claims the airport route I'll do the East Side instead. Thanks!

I´m planning on riding Preston/Forest Saturday. See you there?

Please do, i'm on the north end of Fort Worth and would like to try this. Its about 10 miles form my house to gateway park where I could pick up the trail. I've never ridden any of the trail system, so this would be an interesting venture.

Need an escape plan in the event I can't make it all.

Here you go! I live on the 183 end of the trail, so this is from my house to the gas station in Aledo where I often turn around.

I'm busy this weekend, but I'm not far from Gateway Park and would love to start up a group ride for us west siders.
