I am beginning to think a person could live just about anywhere, even Texas. There is no riding near Dallas, is there? A friend of mine would just do laps around White Rock Lake, and that was it. Is there great good decent any riding outside the city? My buddy didn't explore too much, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be warmer later today, 72, and I think it will hit 80 here the next few days, so I should perk up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco, Austin, the hill country, the gulf coast. No mountains unless you drive for about a year and half to The Big Bend / Davis Moutains. Palo Duro Canyon is kinda cool, is a west Texas desert sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Richardson have a huge bike shop if there is no riding nearby? It is all riding on boring flat city streets with no big hills or pretty scenery. Doing laps around White Rock is not bad. Lots of rednecks in monster trucks and monster suvs and Chrysler 300s to contend with. The trails to White Rock from my house have been taken over by the homeless and you have to ride through feces and needles to get to the lake. This might make you feel at home. There is a big nature preserve near us with lots of paved paths, easy to get in 10 miles and some decent scenery. We do have some hill, but no seasonal color, etc. Our seasons are green and brown. They vary due to the amount of rain. Heat or cold or lack of rain can bring on the brown season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the cold and winter freeze keeps them away, same as it does for bigass bugs and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, try 20. Try 20 easy ones with your knees on the ground. Or do some plank. Both of those will be great to firm you up and get that boost for your metabolism, and brain health.

Did my 50 this morning! I was walking between buildings this morning and thought dang, I almost need a jacket.
