LSR populaire June 13
Jun 3rd, 2015, 6:33pm
 
Lone Star Randonneurs have scheduled their next populaire Saturday, June 13.  No membership is required to ride.  The venue, however, is not firmly established, as it was originally to start at Lynn Creek Marina, which currently under water.  The host is monitoring the situation, to see if the start will need to be moved, or if a different route will be used.  I will update this post with any news.

Too bad it's the same day as Collin County Classic.

I'm interested in this, too. I was planning on the Collin Classic, but if I can do this ride for free, and get a taste of randonneuring and meet the group, then I'd rather do this. It's a 150k, right?

That's what Stephen has posted.  I know of a hundred miler from the marina, not a 150k.

Just checked the RUSA site, there are no 150k's out of Grand Prairie, several 100 or so and the century(162k).  There is a Jerry Austin route out of Arlington - Pleasant Point Pop 157k but I've never ridden it so not sure where it starts from.

I'm referring to the 150k posted on Lonestar's site here for 2015/06/13: http://www.lonestarrandon.org/brevets.html . Is this not the one Robert is speaking of? A 150k is about a hundred miles, right?  Wink

We rando types keep track of the kilometers!  150k is 93 miles.  But as I said, the exact route hasn't been posted.

Well, the populaire is on for Saturday, June 13, at 07:00.  The route is slightly modified from the Lynn Creek century, and will be 100 miles.  We will depart from the Kroger parking lot off Broad street in Mansfield.  No membership is required to ride the populaire.  Here is part of Stephen's post.
 
 
Start Location:  In the parking lots at the southwest corner of Hwy 360 and Broad Street, Mansfield.  From the intersection, go west on Broad Street, take the first left turn next to Taco Casa and Whataburger.  There is an open parking area away from the stores behind the Whataburger.  I will be driving a white Ranger pickup.  Address for the Taco Casa is 3260 E Broad St, Mansfield, TX 76063.  A link to Google Maps showing the area is:  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mansfield,+TX/@32.5753907,-97.0821808,197m/dat a=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x864e61b503063617:0x5a879c9c71f23bb1?hl=en  That open lot with no cars on it is the place.
 
We would normally use the Lynn Creek Marina parking lot (public park).  As that is currently under water, we are borrowing this parking lot.  I did okay this with the Kroger manager for this Saturday.  Please be a good customer, leave the parking lot as clean as you found it, and buy stuff at the stores if you use their facilities.  There is a big nice Kroger, a Chick-fil-A, a Taco Casa, a Starbucks, a Whataburger all nearby, and a Race Trac across the street.  If you want to eat after the ride, you have lots of choices also.

Being a full century changes things.  May or may not be there - depends on what Dan wants to do.  Truthfully, I'm not sure I'm ready for a century in the heat.  Last week alone nearly did me in at just 60 miles.
