This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Ride your bike on a cool route with a bit of everything and support a good cause or two. We ask that each rider also brings items from the suggested list below for the food drive in support of the Denton Community Food Center. A significant portion of all entry fees will also be forwarded to DCFC as a cash donation.

This ride is a unique combination of singletrack, scenic country roads, dirt roads, paved trail and even a pub run through the Square in Denton. We will have a long route of about 70 total miles and a short route of about 40 total miles. This will be an all weather event. Course may be modified as needed based on trail and road conditions.

Staging will be at the Corinth Community Park and we will be rolling no later than 6pm. There will not be any sag vehicles or aid stations but this route is actually in civilization so there will be convenience stores and restaurants along the way.
