Thats the ride that used to use WRT all the time --  IF they are staying off the trail, I'm in.  
 
Quote from FlyingLaZBoy on Feb 27th, 2017, 9:40am:
It's every Thursday night, year-round, 6:30 rollout from Schlotzky's across from Medical City.  Lights required.  Rolling pace around 16MPH, no drop.  Typically 6-10 people.  Some rough streets, especially downtown.  We do 1-1/2 loops of downtown, going through Deep Ellum, and dodging busses on Elm street going west, but the downhill and traffic light synchronization mean that we do Elm at ~25 mph.   One break, at AA center, for bathroom use at the bar on the corner.  Typically back to the parking lot by 9:15.

I'd suggest a trike, not a velo, due to occasional climbing.

Yes, the downtown ride doesn't use the WRTrail, only the Tuesday night ride.  Unfortunately, some of the streets are a bit rougher!

darn, it's hard to keep a trike above 20mph...   Cheesy  even with a full disc rear wheel.
 

 
My lap time splits for the 40K:
 
14:32 - 20.7mph (thanks, Joe!)    Wink
15:25 - 19.5mph  
15:46 - 19.0mph  
16:41 - 18.0mph  
15:23 - 19.5mph
