Tweed Ride Update<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nBike Friendly Oak Cliff
\n\"\"
\nMany people have been asking about the BFOC Tweed Ride, which is usually held each November.\u00c2\u00a0 This ride has always been lead by one of BFOC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s co-founders, Jason Roberts.\u00c2\u00a0 As some of you may already know, he has recently been facing some serious health issues.\u00c2\u00a0 After discussing this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Tweed Ride at a recent meeting, the board of BFOC unanimously decided that we should postpone the ride until Jason will be back in action and ready to lead the ride as usual.\u00c2\u00a0 We all feel that it would not be the same without him.\u00c2\u00a0 We expect to hold the ride in January or February of 2013.\u00c2\u00a0 So you have a few extra months to get your tweed…<\/p>\n

\nToday we hosted a group of people from Houston out at Pace Bend. With about 30-40 total riders, we broke into several groups, which kept the ride going and allowed everyone to have a stress free day.\u00c2\u00a0 The weather was perfect and the beer and snacks afterwards were well deserved. (many more pictures)<\/p>\n

\nBeautiful day, perfect weather, a great time to be out on the greenbelt.\u00c2\u00a0 Dennis and Crispy were determined to maximize their mileage and chose to start further upstream.<\/p>\n

We netted out about 15-16 miles and they ended up around 22.\u00c2\u00a0 Great pictures from some of the places we stopped to session the obstacles. (many more pictures)<\/p>\n

\nCourse information: What is not to like about a CX race on a former links-style golf course? We have lots of grass, rollers, just the right amount of sand, barriers, double wheel pit, start line grid, and full course tape.<\/p>\n
