Comments: This was my 2nd time to do this. This year there were 2,350 people which is a little big for me - I don't like to bike in crowds. But it is good to see all of the different people old and young out for the ride.
I did see a lot of tri-bikes and aerobars and also saw a few people running after their ride. So triathlons gaining popularity is probably another reason that bike tours are attracting more participants.
I'll plan on doing it again next year. Glen Rose is my home town and it is kind of fun to bike from Cleburne to GR and back. When I was a kid that would have blown my mind that I'd be doing this at 39 years old.
