The area cycling calendar is empty for the July 4th weekend, so we are offering a very special ride on Saturday, July 2. Our “little ride†is a short route (8 miles) that utilizes a loop of county roads that include a few climbs, some downhills and some flat segments for an exhilarating ride that you can take on for up to 12 laps. That’s 96 miles! The route starts and finishes in the Myers Event Center in McKinney. Rider check-in begins at 7am and riders can begin rolling out after they check in.
Our start finish site includes some wooded areas for picnicking and a big grassy meadow where kids can run and play with one parent while the other rides. Plus, since it is the July 4th weekend, we are encouraging our participants to wear their patriotic apparel. …

Riders for the 61 mile route will detour northeast on Wolf Hollow Rd to turn left on 1189, turn left again and continue straight on the I-20 access road, turn right onto Poe Prairie Rd., continue west on Poe Prairie toward Ww Ln. then …
