About time for another BF's meet & greet?

Forget when our last one was at, but that sure means it's been a while. I know we've seen some new faces pop up in the Tx Regional forum as of late so figured it was about time to throw another Meet & Greet together. Before anyone suggests a ride, let me remind you that we also have a very wide range of skill and interest levels represented here which makes organizing a ride easier said than done.

So, dinner it is, somewhere that can accomodate a fairly large group and can be flexible with the number as sometimes we have stragglers and surprise attendance. Open to suggestions on where and when. Just about any evening works for me as I get off work fairly early and thus can get just about anywhere in time for dinner.

Can we get this thrown together in 2 weeks to have it the first weekend in April?

I'm game, assuming details work out otherwise.

First weekend in April is also Saturday of Tour Dallas, for what that's worth.

"we also have a very wide range of skill and interest levels and fitness levels and speed represented here" <== fixed

anytime works for me.

I'd like to propose a BF Superdrome day, a saturday where we get together and take the developmental class (track provides the bikes) and generally have a blast.
I have to say riding the track and the developmental class has been the most fun I've had on a bike in a long time.

The track class is fun. Make sure you call ahead if you can. When I took the class, nearly everyone who showed up needed a 54cm bike and there weren't enough to go around.

www.superdrome.com doesn't have the times/dates for classes up yet. The class runs 4 hours and costs $25, but you can read all about it at https://www.superdrome.com/classes.htm. I'll shoot an email to one of the folks there to ask about when the classes will start up next month.

A BF meet and the Superdrome class combined is a great idea. Count me, too (pending actual date/time).

The calendar is up (sort of), and the first development class should be happening this Saturday April 10th. Friday night races begin this week as well.

You can count on some more development classes being added to the calendar soon enough.
