Day 25: Fort Worth to Greenville

This was a Sunday ride. We started off after a great day off at the cabin site in Fort Worth. We had two cabins with 12 bunk beds in each. Two nights of sleeping on mattresses…amazing

We had to rack the bikes for the first 10 miles out of town as Fort Worth isn’t a very bike friendly city. After that we had a solid 30 miles into a strong headwind. However, once this jaunt was complete, we turned right onto Route 380 East carried by a 20 mph tailwind. Many of us cruised at very fast speeds for the remaining 50 miles. We picked up Heidi at the local Starbucks in Denton, TX as she was staying with a friend. She jumped right in with the lead group and peddled toward lunch. Team Clover organized a tasty lunch at the 58 mile mark supplemented by some girl scout cookies sent along by Megan’s mom.

Unfortunately, due to construction, we had to rack again at 80 miles and drive into our destination of Greenville. At the Methodist Church we were delighted to be served a delicious Mexican dinner with numerous dessert options. As you can see, sweets are in no short supply on this trip. Some people trekked over to the local bowling alley/sports bar and grille to catch the Utah Jazz easily handle the Denver Nuggets. Jen, Maggie, Jody, and Timmy played a game of shuffleboard before turning in for the night. Lights out at 10pm. We hear there’s a headwind in store for us tomorrow as we head up to Paris, TX.
