Pre-Tour d’Italia Ride<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nfrom www.lonestarcyclists.org
\nSaturday, June 11, 2011 – 8:30am
\nLocation: Italy, Texas
\nThis is a chance to ride the course and also to do some preliminary tasks, like checking out rest stop sites, putting out signs, etc. Even if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not a rider, come on down to Italy for a fun day kickstarting the TDI. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have a good time painting the routes (wear your ugliest pair of shoes!), sagging for the riders (GREATLY appreciated), and checking out a local restaurant. Routes of 12, 33, 42, 50, and 62 miles.<\/p>\n
