Tour Dallas Dead? (Read 1505 times)

Patti Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 876	Tour Dallas Dead? Mar 31^st, 2015, 1:31pm Looks like Tour Dallas has folded its tents, as far as being a supported ride event. It appears that they still would like people to ride but no registration and no support. Anyone know what happened?

This was always the first ride I recommended to new folks in the area. Definitely too expensive the last couple of years but always nicely organized and fun to do.

This is the first time I heard about that. Tony where did you see it?

I first heard from a friend in PBA that it isn't happening this year. Further internet research shows no dat for the Wild Ride in 2015. It isn't listed on your site. Do you believe that it will be occurring this year? If not I was just curious if anyone knew why.
