EarthX Event on Saturday, April 27
Apr 22^nd, 2019, 1:26pm

There is a group event planned for this Saturday at EarthX in Fair Park. Groups can plan to meet up at a starting point of your choosing, then ride to EarthX arriving between 10am and 11:am. Cyclists may ride to the gate, then walk cycles into the park. There will be a Bike Corral set up for parking and locking your bike. Security will be provided.
There will be tacos and beer available for cyclists as well as cycling-related booths in the Cycling Pavillion area, just outside the Automobile Building.
The Texas Recumbent Riders will be just inside the building with our demo booth, once again showcasing recumbent trikes and bikes. Please stop by and say”hi” if you come to the park.

The EarthX folks would like to have an estimate of how many riders to expect, to ensure they have adequate space allotted, so if you have a group coming, they would like to to register them at:

Below are the times and places for the three distances and speeds if you want to join a group to go to EarthX at Fair Park.

I will probably ride down from the store with my youngest on the tandem - if anyone wants a longer ride. We can meet up with the 36 milers as 36 miles isn't enough to get the bike dirty Grin
