October 23, 2021,Downtown Dallas via Katy Trail to Whiterock Lake with new friends

5 of us rode via Katy Trail east to Whiterock Lake, around the lake and back towards Downtown Dallas via Santa Fe Trail and Main St. New friends Jerry and Christy made it a fun and interesting ride. Great fall N. Texas weather!

September 30, 2021,Dallas downtown, Trinity River bridges, Farmers Market, Whiterock Lake

Very good ride. We rode over recently opened Margaret McDermott Bridge trail along I30 westward from Dallas then back eastward over Trinity River via Ron Kirk Bridge.
Through downtown past the Farmers Market to White Rock Lake.
