Comfort “Country†Ride
Hill Country Bicycle Touring Club
Saturday, October 12th: Ride will start at 9:00 a.m. at Comfort Park, in the town of Comfort out I-10 W. Directions: Take the first Comfort exit, and stay on Hwy 27 where it splits from Hwy 87 in the town of Comfort. The park will be on a complete city block, on the left side before you exit the town. Plenty of parking is available. Bring energy bars and drinks. No services available on ride, but the restrooms at Comfort Park are usually open.
This is called a “country ride†ride, because it takes us down some quiet country lanes that are virtually devoid of traffic. Very flat terrain for the most part, with a few hills that are not that demanding. This 28-mile route will appeal to all levels. Your ride leader had cycled this route before, and…
Skills Clinic #95A Riding With Flow (Members Only)
Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association
Saturday, October 12, 2013Â Â Â Â Â Â 9:00 AM
River Legacy Park
703 N.W. Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX (map)
What: how to ride a mountain bike trail with “flow”.
Riding with flow is an often heard term among riders in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Yet the term isn’t listed in either online Mountain Bike Dictionary, or the Dictionary of Mountain Bike Slang. So I looked in the Mountain Bike Texas Dictionary, and still no flow. So I think it is a local phenomenon. Perhaps because we have more trails around here that don’t have good flow, that make you slow down and negotiate tight twisty momentum kills features. River Legacy has flow. And that is where Mark Cayton, “Oldjackbob” will be teaching his flow clinic for the 4th time. Mark is a big proponent of…
