As you follow the sidewalk down from the parking lot you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see that the trail starts up on your left (there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a sign letting you know) and leads you into the trees. Not too long after you start out, you will come out into the open to a sidewalk. There aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t any signs to this effect, but if you simply follow along the sidewalk it will lead you right to where the trail picks back up. There is part of the trail off to your right, as well, that many choose to jump on turn the loop into a figure 8.<\/p>\n<p>Although most of the trail is well shaded, there are a few stretches that put you out in the open, so if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a hot, sunny day you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to pedal faster. One such open bit of really tight singletrack brings you by the fence of one of the ball fields, and then leads you back into the trees. There is a wood beam to cross over in case the ground is muddy there, which is a nice touch in case the trails are&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/shawneetrailcyclingclub.com\/rides\/group-rides\/cranky-tuesday-ride\/\" href=\"http:\/\/shawneetrailcyclingclub.com\/rides\/group-rides\/cranky-tuesday-ride\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Cranky Tuesday Ride<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\nShawnee Trail Cycling Club<br \/>\nDoes your cycling week ever put you on a roller coaster of emotions?\u00c2\u00a0 You&#8217;ve spent the weekend on some fantastic rides with your bud&#8217;s, but there&#8217;s nothing on the calendar other than spinning and eating, or just eating, waiting on Wednesday and Thursday to roll around.\u00c2\u00a0 By the time Tuesday arrives, you are in one bad, cranky mood.\u00c2\u00a0 We&#8217;ve got the cure for that &#8211; you may show up on Tuesday looking like a sour puss at ride start, but&#8230;<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shawneetrailcyclingclub.com\/files\/media\/Club%2520Photos\/Club%2520Rides\/Next%2520Ride\/Cranky%2520Tuesday.gif?resize=761%2C435\" width=\"761\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.bikedfw.org\/bikedfw_launches_a_new_logo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bikedfw.org\/bikedfw_launches_a_new_logo\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>BikeDFW Launches A New Logo<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\nby Richard Wezensky<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5549\/10607152534_3264549805_z.jpg?resize=640%2C640\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><br \/>\nCycling is on the rise in north Texas and more people are captivated by active transportation.
