Tour Dallas

Gary and I did our first real bike ride of the season this weekend. It was the Tour Dallas and was really a good ride. It started out at American Airlines Center and "toured" around downtown Dallas - The West End, Swiss Avenue, Turtle Creek. It was cool to get to ride through town vs the normal rural routes that we do. The only draw back was that there were a *ton* of people and it was pretty tightly packed most of the time. I think we averaged about 11 mph (which is pretty slow). The number of police at intersections was amazing compared to other rides we've done. I think there were two police officers at every intersection. It misted a little bit, but not enough to be bothersome. Overall, it was a great start to the season.
