Single Speed rides in Dallas, TX?

I did a google search and found a thread on this already, but it was way back.

Does anyone know of any single speed rides in Dallas? I live off Greenville Ave. and would love to cruise with a group for some SS riding.

I'm using a rigid 29er ss and I'm looking for a no-spandex group.

Thanks for any suggestions!

HELL YEA!

I played a hundred shows in Denton but have never ridden up there. Is it mostly fixed riders?

I'd feel a little out of place on my 29er running with a crew of mashers....

The denton ride has everything from fixed, Mountain, tallbikes, hell you name it! Its a fun ride till the "kids" think they own the road and the cops show up. I had fun the few times I went to it but I'd rather ride into traffic wearing a blindfold than ride behind the obvious new bike owners who don't know how to follow traffic.

So do you still go to those rides?

It's kind of tough for me since I live in Dallas, but whatever, I'm not opposed to drive up.

Where about do you live?

There's usually a ride on sundays in Oak Cliff that starts a Jacks Back Yard. It usually
starts around 2 or 3. It's lots of fun and not too fast all are welcome and the folks that
lead the ride are very laid back.

What bands did you play in when you lived in Denton?
