We’ll convene at 1:30PM on the corner of Fry and Hickory, in the grassy area next to the UNT Language building.  We’ll leave around 2:00PM, and after an easy jaunt around central Denton, we’ll cruise to the square, where we can take a group picture on the steps of the magnificent historic county courthouse (thanks to BFOC for the inspiration).  After that, we’ll wind down to nearby Industrial St to end the ride at our favorite local townie bar, Dan’s Silverleaf.  You could stroll down to get food at Fuzzy’s, Roosters, or Hot Box Pizza, and don’t forget to tell all those businesses how much you need bike racks on that block.
Don’t know what to wear?  Think cowboy/cowgirl.  Think James Dean.

My shins and forearms started to get tired of the desert vegetation. EVERTHING in the desert has thorns. …
Went out for a ride after work on the road bike (which has been collecting dust lately) and was surprised how quickly it cooled off. Thankfully it was one of those rare calm nights so I didn’t have to factor in the windchill.
Definitely better off than my brothers and sisters back east who are still in the icebox. Good news is this “warmer” weather is headed your way…I think.
