Paluxy Pedal, Sat Oct 4
Sep 15th, 2014, 3:59pm
 
I'm planning to do the Paluxy Pedal, and climb The Wall...  http://www.paluxypedal.com/   have never been able to make this rally before.  I'm anticipating driving down there early that morning -- anyone in my area interested in joining me, that would want to carpool?  Or just meet there, and do the 65?
 
I'm planning to ride the Rocket, for a little easier steering stability at slow climbing speed...  the Xstream might be too wobbly going up The Wall...

I love riding in the glen rose/cleburne area, the views are just amazing.  I've heard of the wall but don't think I've ever ridden it and won't be able to this year either.  
 
Two weeks after surgery and doc release me today to ride but not more than 20 minutes a day so I certainly won't be there but look forward to reading your story.

One of these years I will ride the Wall, maybe on the Encore, but probably on a DF simply for the easier climbing.

Lived down there 3 days a week for 6-7 years. Climbed that one and many more most weekends when you could still get to the Overlook restaurant at Fossil Rim via county roads. It was a great lunch stop. It's doable on a bent, you just take your time. It was on a diamond frame, but I climb much worse at the Leakey Death Ride every year and haven't walked yet🙌

Maybe next year, now that my great good friends from Kansas have moved to Glen Rose and I can spend the weekend. Saturday morning, I will be standing in front of the Livestock Bldg at the Stockyards in Fort Worth, holding my sweet German Wirehair pointer foster pup sisters for a big rescue event. Anyone need a couple of 45#, 9 month old balls of fire? They have fuzzy faces💛💛
