Challenge yourself to The Tejas 500! You can crew yourself right out of your own vehicle or bring friends and family to be a part of your race, watching and handing up bottles. Many bring the entire family for the on-site campout at the Glen Rose city park. Make a party out of the weekend by doing The Tejas 4 person team event. It's our most popular and the most fun way to tackle 500 miles, as each rider rides about 125 miles total within the 48 hours. Your team mates will be waiting for you to finish your lap while resting under one of the big oak shade trees for their next turn. Start picking your dream team, you'll want the fun folks. It would be cool to see two FWBA teams competing or even an all girl team. Every official Tejas 500 finisher gets one of the amazing TTTT trophies, whether solo or a team member. Plus, as you're finishing your last few laps, other racers will be entering the course for the shorter events, resulting in an invigorating afternoon, right when you need it most! Volunteers are always needed, but why not put yourself to the test, the real race is just between you and the clock, race it! Please see the web site for photos, and more details. |

What better way to spend a night and day than riding your bike and in your own backyard, enjoying some of the beautifully rugged scenery. The looped course provides racers the unique chance to crew themselves from their vehicle (or tent!). To be an official finisher of the 24 hour race you only have to complete one lap. You do not have to ride the entire 24 hours. You can spend time sleeping, eating and visiting. All events will finish Saturday evening, dinner will be served and an awards ceremony will be held. Any rider completing more than 132 miles will be awarded a trophy. Volunteers are always needed, but why not put yourself to the test and race it, solo or with a team mate! Lots of bragging rights in being able to say "yea, I've done a 24 hour race" even if you actually rode 13 hours with lots of breaks. If you would like a first place trophy please contact Dan. He will guide you to your best chance. (Hint...we have never had a male/male 24 hour tandem.) Please see web site for photos and details. |

How will it sound Monday, when you say "yea, I raced in "Tin Butt" over the weekend"! Practice saying that a couple of times. It sounds pretty cool. TTTT is actually 5 separate races including The Tin Butt 12-Hour Time Trial. By Saturday afternoon, riders will be passing the start-finish at an average rate of a rider per minute, some flying at 20+ mph, and others peddling the last laps of their 500 miles. This makes it an extremely spectator friendly event. Pick a race and come join us. Volunteers are always needed, but why not bring your bike and ride! Please see the web site for photos and details, you'll be surprised at the people that you already know that have raced and or volunteered. 12-hour riders completing 79 miles will receive a TTTT trophy. |

The ride will start at 0830 from the Burgundy Boucherie, the country market store/grill for the Burgundy Pasture Beef Farm, in Grandview, 35 minutes south of downtown Fort Worth. Ride distances of 25, 35, 50, 65, and 100 miles, on lightly traveled country roads. Following the ride plan on coming back to the Boucherie. Enjoy a unbelievably delicious freshly ground 100% Grass Fed Beef hamburger on a specially baked bun, with organic Romaine lettuce, local red ripe tomatoes, along with gourmet chips and specialty soft drinks. Please park at the business parking lot to the rear and north side of the store, and not in front of the store. Just look for my orange Honda Element. Iva will have the store open by 0800 for use of the restroom, and a chance to purchase one of their famous cookies. I can tell you from experience that the "Trailmix" cookie is good for 25 miles or more. She will keep the grill open until 4:00 PM. They are opening the grill early for us at 1030, so for those of you doing the shorter ride, you will be able to have lunch upon return. The hamburgers are $5.00, or you can add the gourmet chips and soft drinks for $9.00, and to top it all off finish up with one giant cookie. You won't go hungry. Directions: Coming From Ft Worth - 35W south to Hwy 81/Grandview exit. Hwy 81 brings you into Grandview, go right at the red light, cross the railroad tracks - approximately 1/2 mile past the tracks on the left. Burgundy Beef offers foods that meet a strict core philosophy, raised in a sustainable manner and in the most natural setting, in the pasture and NEVER with the use of growth promotants (hormones) or any other artificial circumstance. Burgundy Beef produces the highest-quality 100% grass-fed beef, raised naturally on lush pastures right here in North Texas. The store also has for sale fresh and frozen beef, chicken, pork, eggs, and many other wonderful natural healthy products. Web site: http://burgundypasturebeef.com/public_home.php |
