I'm pretty sure WordPress has a decent gallery. There's a WordPress Users Group in Dallas that meets at the Art Institute once a month. The next meeting is Saturday, October 24, if you're interested.

Hey guys,
I've finally posted the pictures from the picnic. I think Tim did a great job with the pictures. They can be found at the website under the "Gallery" link www.southwestframeworks.com
The people pictures are in the last two albums. I didn't edit any of the pictures, so for right now you just have to struggle through all 575 pictures.
Again, a big thanks to all who braved the rainy weather.
David
David, thanks for the picnic and making the photographs available.
The photographer did an excellent job of capturing the essence of the bicycles and the event.
Thanks again.

Are there any vintage style rides planned for the spring? Why wait until October to do this again.
Chris!

I was thinking about trying to organize a vintage ride to the Super Bowl Sunday West End ride this year. I've never done the ride as I for the most part hate the cold weather. I thought it might be fun to make a showing on vintage bikes. We need to show these carbon guys what real bicycles look like. I figure that a bunch of geezers strutting down the street wearing wool with shiny components on their bicycles would strike fear (or laughter) in the hearts of the other riders. I was looking at a route from my house, or maybe near SMU, to the Katy trail, to the AAC, then to the West End . I figure from my house to the Katy Trail via Armstrong Parkway is a little under six miles. Then to the West End looks to be about another six miles or so. I think at a relaxed (slow) enough pace I could make it, even in my awful condition. I'm going to ride this route in the next week or so to see if it's doable.
Anyway, if there's any interest in this ride let me know.

I would be up for a vintage bike ride but not on the day of the super bowl :-)
I recommend starting a new thread. I don't think this is getting many eyeballs despite being stickied.
