Excellent 26.5 mile ride through the countryside/Mckinney Airport this morning! I vote for more local meets in Allen!!! Thanks for the route pathdoc!!

Which route did you take? You didn't go on that horrible gravel road that goes behind the McKinney airport, did you?

[pathdoc]

No gravel roads for me. I'll double check the names of the roads. Went down Orr (sp?), ended up right a McKinney airport (Lowery Crossing Rd, I think) turned onto 325 and looped back onto Orr. Would have stayed on Lowery Crossing Rd till it ends at a T near Lavon but was running really tight on time and my ride buddy was kicking my butt.

This was as close to the route we took that i could make....google maps isn't exactly finished with a few roads...but most of this route is accurate:

My daughter and I race for TeamPACC. We interval in the area all the time. Feel free to join in if ever you see us:

Sprints: Lovejoy H.S.
~1m stuff: Chaparrel Dr., Allen H.S. loop, Orr Road.
3-5m stuff: Allen H.S. loop, Forest Grove/Orr Road.


Former 'Jarhead' here...so you know I'll have to refer to you as 'Squid'.

LOL! Help me find a cycling jersey with a squid on it, and I WILL wear it proud!

Sounds like we're on the same page-I'm in on some intervals! Are you doing the Collin Classic tomorrow??

Not officially. We train on those exact same roads at the same time they're rolling, so we may get mixed in at some point. Depends on whether our team ride is on or off, haven't heard at this point. With Bike The Bricks, Mineral Wells, and the OKC crits this weekend, it's a real mess. Teammates all over the place.

hello everyone. I also live in Allen, Tx, and just recently have bought a bike to ride. I bike to the train station in Plano from Allen Monday thru Friday, take the train to work in deep Ellum, then take the train back to Plano, and ride home to Allen. This averages around 70 miles a week out of necessity, not enjoyment ( vehicle broke down ). I too wish there was a club in Allen, Tx. I'd like to say hi to my fellow Allen resident who is a Navy vet, I too am veteran ( Army & Air force ). I ride a Schwinn Fastrac ( Red ).
