Collin Classic is tomorrow!

Dallas area offers some great opportunities for some varieties of outdoor activities. Bicycling is by far among my favorite. I have been riding the various trails in the DFW area. Last month the MS-150 was the highlight of bicycling in Texas, with over 3,000 cyclists riding the 87 miles from Frisco to Texas Motor Speedway through back country roads. That was the also the event in which I clocked the fastest time of my life, 28.8 mph, completing the distance in about 6 hours.

Now tomorrow is another big bicycling event, not as big as the MS-150, but pretty big. The event titled Collin Classic is being organized in the country roads of Collin County. For the convenience of different grades of riders, they are offering numerous routes, from 4 miles to 55 miles and each route is uniquely different.

I plan to hit the longest ride 55 miles and hopefully will be able to complete the ride in under 5 hours. Will post pictures of the event tomorrow.
