Look up in the "Texas Rides" and there are links to www.bicycle-stuff.com (http://www.bicycle-stuff.com) and one other website that list all these rides with websites and stuff. www.bicycle-stuff.com (http://www.bicycle-stuff.com) is mainly north Texas, but also includes reviews and pictures. The other website includes the whole state, but doesn't have the reviews and pictures.

It's kind of late to post, but I'll be there in the morning with my dad. I was going to shoot for the 66 mile but I'll be doing the 100K at Wichita Falls next weekend so I'm going to take it easy and hit up the 40-something mile ride.

I had a good time. There were a lot more hills than I was expecting. I ended up with a flat at mile 35, but was back rolling again in about 15 minutes. The finish line was cool.

I had a good time as well. The roads were a little rough but the hills didn't bother me too much...
Heres my Garmin data for the ride:

I felt good, the weather was GREAT, the pizza afterward was perfect. They really put on a great ride. I would do it again for sure.

I heard them announcing the pizza afterwards, but I had to go pick up my dad and I just forgot about it. I sure would have liked to take advantage of that. I don't think there could have been better weather.
