The  goal of our Club is....HAVE FUN...,promoting safety, social activities, and all interest in the sport of cycling.

Come join us on a ride. We are made up of riders of all abilities from beginners to seasoned veterans. Our rides are from 25 to 65+ miles and the pace is from touring to racing, with multiple distance routes that begin at the same time and place.

So come on...What are YOU waiting for. The fun has already started. There's nothing like a Bicycle built for two. You can find us in the Friday Guide of the Dallas Morning News every Friday. Go to the "Out & About" section of the Friday Guide.
