AD-HOC RIDE DOWNTOWN TO CELEBRATE ALEX DULANEY’S JOURNEY BACK IN THE SADDLE
ahoodwin | www.planobicycle.org
For those that don’t want to drive to downtown Dallas for a 20 mile ride (Dallas Bike Ride) can ride down there with us, meet Alex at The Gingerman and then ride back after the party. Leaving from Independence and 15th should give us approx. 40 miles there and back. You even get to sleep in as we won’t start until 9am!
The pace will be B-Square-ish, but we’re not in any hurry. In other words, we won’t drop anyone especially after filling up on whatever the menu offers.
Why: Celebrate Alex Dulaney’s journey back to cycling
When: Saturday, November 4th at 9am
Where: N/W corner of Independence and 15th in Plano
Distance: 20 out; 20 back, approx. 40 total
Pace: 14-15mph
Here is the route we’ll be taking. The highlight is riding on the actual Katy Trail demonstrating its not just the name of a Plano restaurant/ bar …
