Super Bowl ride to West End - Sun, Feb 2
Jan 28th, 2014, 9:27am
 
29th Annual  
Super Bowl Sunday Ride  
February 2, 2014

 
 
Cycling enthusiasts will ride from sites all over the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex to the West End in Dallas for the 29th annual Greater Dallas Bicyclists Super Bowl Sunday Ride. For the past 28 years, GDB has partnered with bike shops and bicycle clubs all over the metroplex to host a bicycle ride that starts everywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth and converges on the West End in downtown Dallas. The ride is free, the people are fun, and the food is great. Don't miss this chance to show your support for cycling in North Texas!
 
Find a start location near you, show up at the designated time, and pedal through the streets of Dallas and surrounding cities with plenty of friends.       If you wear spandex, wear your club, team, or cycling store jersey. If you're into fixies, cruisers, or cycle chic, we'd love to see you too! This is a Bike Friendly ride for everyone!
 
Here are the meet up locations, start times, mileages, and contact information. Need more information? Contact president@greaterdallasbicyclists.com. We hope to see you out there!

Important tips and recommendations for the ride:
 
WEAR A HELMET. Use of helmets is strongly recommended.
Call ahead to verify start time. Especially if the weather is looking marginal.
BRING A BIKE LOCK.
Bring money or a credit card for lunch.
Remove personal items from your bike while you eat to prevent theft.
Follow the instructions of the ride leaders.
Communicate with your fellow riders and assist them when needed.
Ride no more than 2 abreast (it's Texas law) and only use one lane.
Observe and obey all traffic laws.
Don't worry about the game! You should be back in plenty of time to watch the Super Bowl.

I'm planning to join the Greater Dallas Bicyclists group at Preston/Royal -- this is the start location and time for our regular  Sunday Roll ride.
 
Our group rolls at a typical ~15-16mph pace, but in a no drop / regroup mode.   If you plan to join a group that is new to you, please contact the ride leader to talk about what pace is expected, and if it is 'no drop'.
