I originally posted this in the Beginner’s Corner Thread but it seems I might have better luck posting for people in the area I am actually located! Dallas/Fort Worth Area. More specifically, Arlington, Texas.
I feel really silly writing this!I am very new to the sport of Mountain Biking. I wanted to get into it to have a fun, healthy hobby and it also seemed exciting.

Wheelmen ride through bicycle history
 Long Live Group Rides!
by djcurtin         Bicycle Sport Shop’s Offical Cycling Blog
It’s that time of year.
For many riders the warmer temps mean a return to regular riding. And for those many riders, nothing says Spring has sprung like the weekend group ride.
Personally I’m an all-weather rider. Short of active tornadoes, I’m riding. But it isn’t until we get weather like we’ve had recently that I get friends out on two wheels with me.

2013 Austin Rattler 100, Leadville 100 MTB Qualifier
Texas Mountain Bike Trails
Leadville.
Perhaps the biggest and most well known of all mountain bike races. Pitting competitors not only against each other but against the sheer exhaustion of riding at 10,000+ feet above sea level. This event is for the bravest of riders and so popular that an entry is only granted through a lottery or by earning your place in one of the 5 qualifying races leading up to the main event.
Luckily for those of us in Texas, we host one of the 4 qualifying events. The Austin Rattler 100, which also happens to be the kick off to…
