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:

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.
