Hey, let's focus on getting a dinner together right now. If someone wants to organize a ride in a seperate thread, by all means go for it.
The difficulty with organizing a ride is that we have a wide range of interests and skill levels represented. You have people who are confortable doing 15-20mi at 16mph, others who would rather do 45 miles at 17-18mph, then we have the mountain bike guys, some fixed gear riders, etc etc. Weekend before last I led the Dallas Vintage ride which I had spent 2 months organizing and planning for. Even when you focus the ride down to classic & vintage road bikes we had a wide range of rider abilities to contend with.

That is certainly a good idea for a ride. Though right now there is a lot of construction down at WRL still isn't there? We could also have a group leave from RBM in Richardson for those who want to get more miles in if we met at WRL.
