April 2009: Tour Dallas!

Emily, Sarah and Rob completed Tour Dallas 2009 last weekend, a 20 mile cycle ride around downtown, and suburban Dallas. The weather was perfect (slightly warmer than last year), the crowds were huge, the crashes were few, and the legs were a little worn at the end, but everyone made it around, with plenty of time to enjoy free pizza and a photo shoot with Bikin' Mike, the organizer of the whole event. We were also fortunate to meet Rob Luna at the start after he'd scouted out the best parking for us, and just as he left to join the 30-milers at their start position Sandra showed up with Mike and Allie! We saw plenty of all 3 of them over the next 3 hours, as we meandered along at roughly the same pace, but we never saw Rob L again - he was long gone, and completed his 30 miles in a little over 90 minutes - an excellent pace!
The professional (but little) photos are here: Emily, Sarah, Rob.
