\nI went out EARLY this morning – it was a bit chilly – went out in the OLD Cowboy’s kit…I saw many cyclists – most not in kit, but some in kits I’ve never seen before.\u00c2\u00a0 I was thinking about taking pics of cyclists as I come upon them or go by them, and trying to collect pictures and identify the various clubs in the area – maybe make a blog or some sort of posting about it – trying to find out as much as I can about each club, local riders, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe make something of a “bio” of the D\/FW area clubs and riders I find and can talk to.<\/p>\n

Been done before?\u00c2\u00a0 I think not – and it might be kinda fun!!<\/p>\n
