2 days. 180 miles. A weekend of bike riding and beer drinking from start to
finish.

This October 18th and 19th Fixed Touring is riding from Dallas out to Athens, TX
and back.

Traditionally this is a fixed gear ride, however geared bikes are welcome.

We are going to meet in Saturday morning at BuzzBrews in Deep Ellum. Day one we
will ride out to Athens approximately 90 miles, Hang out in Athens saturday

We need full payment to reserve a spot on the ride.

During the ride we like to compete in a gentlemen’s points race. Every city and
county line is a sprint for points. First to cross gets 5 points, second 4,
third 3, fourth 2, and fifth gets 1 point. County lines are worth double. There
must be a posted sign on the route for it to count. But you must also ride with
