Paris, Texas § April 23-25, 2010
APRIL IN PARIS…TEXAS
Dallas Area Tandem Enthusiasts (DATES) invite tandem riders from around the world to April in Paris, Texas — where DATES will host the 20th annual Southwest Tandem Rally.
Paris is located 98 miles northeast of the Dallas – Fort Worth metroplex on the western edge of the Piney Woods. Paris was selected for its historic downtown, cooperative community spirit, and the surrounding smooth roads traversing the north Texas plains. Expect gentle riding over nearly flat terrain abounding in grassland, cattle ranches, and wildflowers.
Area attractions include the downtown plaza with its J.J. Culbertson fountain commemorating the rebuilding of the downtown after the 1916 fire, numerous antique stores, quilt shops, the restored train depot that played a significant role in the U.S. cotton and cattle industries, and surrounding towns that will lure you to stop, enjoy a treat and explore small-town Texas charm and friendliness.
Registration is closed. We've had a great response to the rally and we've reached our capacity.
