Welcome to DATES!

new_logo1_webHowdy...!! Welcome to the Dallas Area Tandem Enthusiasts Web Site. We are a group of like-minded people who enjoy riding tandem bicycles for fun and fitness. We were founded in 1990 and are one of the largest tandem clubs in Texas. Our membership includes tandem "teams" and sponsors from across Texas and thirteen other states.

The  goal of our club is to HAVE FUN, while promoting bicycle safety, social activities, and interest in the sport of cycling. We are made up of riders of all abilities from beginners to seasoned veterans. Our rides range from 25 to 65+ miles and the pace varies from touring to racing. Most rides include multiple distance options that all begin at the same time and place. So come and join us… there's nothing like riding a bicycle built for two.

For a history of our club, please take a moment to read the "History of DATES" by John McManus.

It was back in December of 2008 that we moved to a new web hosting service and also a new website.  During this time, the feedback has been very positive.  With that said, there have been some issues regarding how the web content looks when using Internet Explorer 6.  Issues such as accessing the DATES-Line Newsletter using Internet Explorer 6.  Anyway, I would like to ask each of you to verify the version of Internet Explorer that you are running.  If you are running Internet Explorer 6 and you don't feel comfortable upgrading to Internet Explorer 8, I would like to recommend some alternatives (note that the alternative web browsers can be installed without interfering with Internet Explorer 6).
