The Dallas Parks and Recreation are bringing the Dallas Sr. Games. The cycling part will be held
March 4 & 5 at the TX  Motor Speedway on the outside 5 mile loop.  According to Dean Wilkinson (the organizer), they are going to have
2-wheel and 3-wheel recumbent categories, separate from the road bikes and Time Trial bikes, and possibly faired/unfaired categories as well (for you Velo owners)
 
Schedule:
 
March 4th -9:00a.m.     - 5K Time Trial, 10 K Time Trial and a 20K Road  Race
March 5th  9:00a.m.             40K Road Race  
 
Only requirement is that you have to be 50 or older, and breathing.   Cheesy
 
Total entry fee will be $40.00.  
 
Ft.Worth Policemen, Ambulance, and a USCF referee for timing will be on hand.  Registration will start Jan 3rd and end Feb 28
 
 
I'll post more as I find out...

Adults should have fun so kids will want to grow up!

For every mile of road there's two miles of ditch.

I'd rather be sorry for something I did than for something I didn't do.

I was considerably faster than mud, but no one else. And I even had two lungs back then...

Since I don't get back until Saturday, I'm probabaly going to sign up for the 40K race on Sunday.  Anyone else planning to participate, in some fashion?  Dean Wilkinson (GDB) has made a true effort to include 'bents in this...
