VAN TO MARBLE FALLS: The plan is to stage and load up from Montgomery Plaza, 2600 W. 7th Street, Fort Worth on Friday morning 5/22. Folks are welcome to leave their car there or drive it to the Trinity T&P long term parking ($5/day). The important thing is to get your hotel booked! Even if you are on the fence, book your hotel now, it can be cancelled if plans change.
THE ROUTES: The Routes are about complete. Expect 70 to 80 miles a day. RWGPS will be posted for all attendees. Those that sag are a vital part of our volunteer group that keep everything together and fun. Hotels stays include Marble Falls, Gatesville and Glenn Rose.
*Important*. Don't worry about the ride distances, this is a supported ride. Sag is available at any time. You can ride the morning, ride 20 miles and break with sag, or ride after lunch.
Another twist to the event is a group of 5 or more will leave on Tuesday May 19 to Marble Falls on bicycles to meet up and ride back with the club. Contact Danny if you are interested in joining us. More to come!
