But for the record, brand new rides can be awesome as well - I did a ride 2 weeks ago (it was their second year as well) and it was one of the most well organized rides I have EVER been on. It's not your fault about the roads...but next time, I'll bring my mountain bike!! Thanks for the luck - we will definitely be needing it!<br /><br />Natalie - It was only 45 minutes outside of town...it's got to be considered to be part of the metroplex! Nonetheless, if I ever move to DFW, I will either quit cycling, or become a lobbyist to fix your crappy roads - you guys deserve better than that!! Great to see you this weekend - mucho fun!<br /><br />D - You're right, the BFF's are the best part of Dallas! I miss you guys! Give all the boys hugs for me!Love and Puppies, Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499264617694298652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17156756.post-73151045898164528672009-10-26T19:22:29.964-07:002009-10-26T19:22:29.964-07:00Ouch...harsh words for the DF-dub...It's a goo...Ouch...harsh words for the DF-dub...It's a good thing you have such fabulous friends in Dallas, or it would have no redeeming qualities!

I'm glad you guys are okay, and more importantly that the bikes survived.

I thought that having a rest stop at 19 with nothing but water (actually a pseudo stop, the real one was a mile down the road... although neither one knew the other was there) was just a ploy to help me get thru all 40 miles. You know, "hey, I've gone halfway now.. of course, I can finish!" Makes only riding established rides really good sense. And sorry about the roads. I live in the country west of Fort Worth, and my country roads are great compared to Springtown. Good luck on your Triathlon, and hope you and your husband are okay.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400526182056341453noreply@blogger.com
