DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I will

 

I would, but I'm still a noob and probably get left in the dust by others.

 

I'll be happy to show up, put my bike in my workstand, inflate the rear tire, get winded, check the shift points, inflate the front tire, get winded again, forget why I was there, then sit on the tailgate and wait for you guys to finish your ride.

 

Sounds like my last ride......

 

last time we did this, we all just drank beer instead at the trailhead

 

Dallas

 

I’m in then

 

I couldnt leave anyone in the dust right now short of having a bike with an engine on it.

 

That reminds me...I finally hopped on one of those rental e-scooters in downtown San Antonio. I somehow managed not to crash, but those things are sketchy. Add in a little alcohol and it's a recipe for disaster. People were speeding down the sidewalks, jumping curbs off into the streets and driving through traffic. I can see why they got rid of them here in DFW.

 

I watched a dude get clotheslined off of one in deep ellum. He was hauling ass down the sidewalk he wasnt supposed to be on and clipped a woman as he was flying by. He turned around and came hauling back down the same sidewalk and said womans significant other clotheslined his ass at full speed. It was hilarious to watch. The cop that watched the whole thing pretended he didnt even see it. Lol.

 

ever find out about how much it ended up costing? After a 27oz marg and being exhausted, i could barely control the thing

Edit - there are 19 votes for a location and 9 votes for date... some of you are not using your allotted 3 votes correctly @Naveronski

 

It was $2.65 for those 2 heart thrilling minutes. Balance was certainly my issue that evening

I voted for 3 locations....I don't care what day

 

Now you telling us how we have to vote?!

 

i like how its looking already so im about to lock it down

 

Next meet is set, Sat Feb 20th at Noon, Old Texas Brewing Co. in Burleson TX. Parking doesnt look great but seems theres more along Main St. It bothers me that this towns streets are not perfectly aligned with the cardinal directions.

Keep an eye out for a possible morning MTB meetup ride beforehand.

 

Awesome! Chisenhall trail in burleson is pretty beginner friendly........

The best parking option is likely going to be “south” of the round a bout on Main. It’s probably the best spot to be able to park together. Aaaand yes, the directions are annoying, and I’ve lived here most of my life...

 

there is that other parking lot by spoked bicycle..... idk. Just a thought.

 

That’s true. I haven’t been back there in a bit. I can do some recon tomorrow and see what’s available.
