rbent Forum - Easy Street Opening Ride

diannalightning Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 522	Easy Street Opening Ride May 2^nd, 2018, 10:24am Hi all. Well, the Easy Street shop in Keller should be open this month (May). Rebecca and Micah will keep me apprised of the opening date so that we can plan a trail ride from Grapevine up to Keller. Stay tuned for dates, places and times.

After going to the gym, I decided to ride the Musashi another 15 or so miles. I went past the John Barfield trail and turned west onto it. All of a sudden I was at the new Easy Street building. Mike and I think Rebecca were there and opened the door and invited me in. Mike is disappointed, but in good spirits. As I was leaving he took a picture of me and my bike. Can hardly wait for the Grand Opening. Great people. Micah was off running errands.

Thanks to everyone for going by and checking on the new shop. I'm sure Mike appreciates it. I'm hoping for the end of June for sure-----fingers crossed.

Rode by Easy Street again this morning. Rebecca thanked me for keeping an eye out. Apparently the front door had been left unlocked over the week-end! Her and Mike were busy putting together trike storage racks. The storage unit is one block from my house. Rebecca asked if I was going to ride the Mayor's ride tonight. Wasn't going to, but now maybe I will.

The city dumped another load of dirt on the trail extention from Kroger.

Welcome to the recumbent world. I don't live in your area but I googled bike shops and it appears Blur Cycle Works have rides, http://blurcycleworks.com/rides-and-events/shop-rides/ . If you are looking for recumbent specific, check out Easy Street Recumbents in Austin, http://www.wemakecyclingeasy.com . Hope this helps.

Ok, this is not the "Opening Ride" but a few us of are going to ride from Grapevine to Keller this Saturday, Jan 5th. We'll park at the Train Museum Public Parking lot 306 W. Dallas Rd., Grapevine, TX. Departure will be at 10:30am. This is a social ride and a surprise for Micah. Ok, ok, I'll call him and let him know that we're coming. Sorry for the short notice, but cabin fever took over and we've got to get out.

See you Saturday if you can make it.

If I can make it, I'll meet everyone on the Cotton Belt Trail. Hopefully I'll be riding my new ride as Micah wants to see it. Have to wait and see if I can get it all together as it will arrive sometime today!

It was great meeting up with Dianna, Steve, Patti, Carolyn, and George at Easy Street. Later at Subway Luke dropped in and rode the trail with us. As I was sitting at the trail and Smithfield, Bill came riding up on his Bacchetta Bello. I told Bill about this forum and he said he would join. I tried to get someone in the group to try out the NoCom, but they all said they preferred their trikes! Good choice because the Little Bear Creek and John Barfield crooked trails are not what the NoCom does well!

It was pretty cool though with 7 recumbents going down the trail. Most people look interested.
