Yay! Anything would be awesome!! We need some regular rides over here Although, I wouldn't be able to make it Sundays due to church unless the ride was between 1-4pm.

Sounds like a good plan. Just tell me the time and place and I'll try to get there!q

We can always change days once we establish regularity.   Sundays are the only days I'm not doing intervals, so I can ride at a steady pace.
Anybody have a problem starting on the tenth?  It's mother's day, but we could ride for just a short time, or do a route where you could easily turn back anytime.
 
Speaking of which, what kind of distances, paces are you comfortable with for our rides?  I'm good with anything just about.  9am work as a starting time?  
 
I like the idea of ending up somewhere to eat.  The food park is nice, but there's chipotle, panda express, red hot and blue, all along my part of the trail.

Yup.  Aikigreg just doesn't do Dallas.  Make any association with that statement you'd like.

I won't commit to every week  but would be interested in occasionally joining a FWBA ride with a bunch of bents.  The trinity trails don't appeal to me on my CA2 but are a good fit for my daughter and I on trikes.
 
Applaud the effort and really hope it works out.

I hate the trail.  I use it to get to where the real ride starts.  Just a couple miles in total.

Done deal.  Let's meet at the Art Cowsen trailhead at 9am.  I'll link and post the address below.  Bring 1 dollar for entrance into Benbrook lake park, or a Corps of Engineers park pass.  We will not ride on any bit of trail, but rather on low traffic park roads most of the way.  If we go beyond a 25 mile ride, We will visit some higher traffic roads, but they're heavily ridden by cyclists and safe unless you do something stupid.  There is a water fountain and restroom available.
 
Distance:  whatever you want.  You can turn around anytime.  I have to have 4 hours of seat time, but That doesn't mean you have to go with me.  I'll ride back with anyone and take another lap.  Hell, if you like I can put together an easy 600k, but I won't be joining you.    You can ride from my house all the way to Glen Rose and Bluff Dale if you like.  
 
Depending on how far we go, we can always ride back to the start, go down the trail just a few miles and have lunch at chipotle, panda express, or red hot n blue bbq.  Along the way you can try and unseat my KOM flat sprint
 
I have craptons of variations of this route, for whatever level of ride and scenery you like.  15 foot cows?  I got em.  Mile long climbs and 20%+ grades?  I got em.  Scenery?  I got that too.  Any combination you want, or easy ways to avoid it all.  But if you're afraid of 15 foot cows, maybe you shouldn't be riding a bike anyway.  Free gu gel provided!

If it does reason, come on anyway.  I'll treat you to lunch and show you the stable of bikes.

Yeah, I do that a bunch.  Then Kelly Road forwards and backwards and old aledo road.  Of course, go all all the way to Granbury and it's 2500 feet just to come back to Aledo.

I was up at 4AM ready to go east to ride with the west metro group and then saw your post, Greg. Hey, y'all should have come out here to Abilene. After about 4:30 everything was blue skies and dry west winds. Hey, there will be other rides.......

Busy all Sundays, as I work at a church.  I'll get over there sometime.  I'll have to wait until school's out, and there are no obligatory conferences to attend.
