So the Texas4000 team starts their annual ride on June 5th. Apparently every year they organize a ride for a bunch of cyclists to join them. There's a 25, 50, and 70 mile route with food booze and fun at the end. Is anyone thinking or doing this or already signed up? Curious if I'll be the only geek on a tri bike or not.

I would totally be doing this again if it weren't for the fact I'll be in California for a marathon. I did this last year, the 70 miles, and it was a GREAT ride!! Pretty protected routes going through some random spots, but because you have support it's okay--and the after party in the vineyard is AWESOME! BBQ, Blue Bell, Beer, Wine...it was great. I'd totally recommend this one!!

Wife & I rode the 70 year before last; there were several tri bikes out, including hers.  We loved this ride, good cause, quiet roads (some very rural and a little rough), friendly dedicated volunteers, and awesome post-ride.  About the only downside I saw was a short segment of the ride on a sidewalk (maybe they adjusted the route) and the bike transport back to Cedar Park was a little concerning (the trailers they hauled the bikes in didn't accommodate my big bike or  bikes with aero bars that well).  It was great to chat with and hear some of the past riders talk about their experiences and to feel the sense of cause on the current year's teams.

I'm planning on doing the 70 mile route with a couple of riding buddies.  I'll be on my tri bike and one of my buddies might be.
