WHEN & WHERE & RULES
Saturday, June 27, 2009 with a 7:30 AM start time, at the Waxahachie High School on Highway 77 North and High School Drive (see map for details). The 100 mile riders will start first. For safety, groups will be staggered at start by distance, with the 18 mph plus riders starting first. Late arrivals will be mass started at 8 AM.
Our ride is not a race, and will consist of 10, 19, 36, 46, 75 and 100 mile tours on a well marked course. The 10 mile is a leisurely in-town tour of historic Waxahachie, with unique “Gingerbread Homes†and “National Historical Register Landmarksâ€, such as the octagon-shaped Chautauqua Auditorium in Getzendaner Park and the Ellis County Courthouse. All ages can participate with confidence of a safe ride. This years in town ride will also utilize part of the new Hike ‘n Bike Trail that Waxahachie has opened, the ride will also go through the downtown area and if you want you may stop and eat or shop in the many antiques and arts & crafts shops around the square. This is an ideal ride for beginners, children and families seeking a fun morning together.
The 19, 36, and 46 mile tours go through some very beautiful, scenic parts of Ellis County. The 75 and 100 mile tours are excellent rides through the beautiful countryside of South West and Southern Ellis County and parts of Johnson, Hill and Navarro Counties. There are some rolling hills, but most of the roadways are fairly flat.
All courses other than the Waxahachie City 10 mile are on paved rural state and farm roads, most of which have no shoulder.
