Turkey Roll Bike Ride – Denton, TX

Texbiker.net Posted on by

The 26th Turkey Roll will be like riding with an old friend and a new one at the same time. From 2006, we have changed two of our three routes. While the short course will be unchanged, the middle distance will remain the same, only this year we will run it in the opposite direction. The big change in the ride will be the new 71-mile Long Course.

Again, all three courses will begin and end at the North Texas Fairgrounds (Corner of University Drive/ Highway 380 @ Carroll Blvd.) right behind the Kroger Grocery Store. The physical address of the Fair-grounds for those wishing to do a Google map is 2217 N. Carroll Blvd.

If you can’t beat ’em, make fun of ’em. That’s the idea at the annual Fire Ant Festival in this Piney Woods town, where goofy events include a fire-ant-calling contest and ugly-face-making contest. There’s a parade, chili cook-off, dominoes tournament, Tour de Fire Ant Bike Race (100K, 10-mile, 30-mile and 45-mile bicycle tours), as well as a 5-K run and plenty of live music and food.
