I have been mostly biking around the white rock lake. Its about 10 miles once around. I was wondering what I will do as I increase the distance every week. I can certainly do multiple rounds around the lake but doing 7 rounds around the lake will get boring! That's right, I am building up the stamina to do 70 miles in one day and go back an do it again the next day. I have got to be able to do this on Sept 7th weekend.
When I was wondering about this, I spoke with my garden buddies Karen and Sean. They told me about the string of rallies that happens every week until fall around Dallas. I was thinking of doing the Red River rally in Oklahoma. Thankfully, Karen told me that there is one closer in Mesquite. It was an easy choice to go to Mesquite since its a shorter commute.
The online registration had closed but I was able to register in person. I don't have a car bike rack that's why I limit myself to white rock lake trail. Yesterday night, I figured, I can dismantle the front wheel and put my cycle in the back seat. The back seat is dirty now but hey, something's got to give.
The rally itself was great! My pace was phenomenally better than usual on a hilly terrain. I shaved about 1-2mins on each mile. Loved being out in the countryside, seeing crops and horses. Just liked the different scenery. I also got to see Mesquite's compost site up close. The weather was cool and it allowed me to complete 20 mile today. Tomorrow, I get to do the same distance around white rock lake!
I have registered for the next event on June 15th. Will be riding 30 miles in Italy!
Its Italy, Texas! I wish I can go to Europe just for a bike ride.
