June 12th Group Ride: Hellhound on my Trail
May 24th, 2011 § 3 Comments
BFOC is bringing back one of our popular history themed rides, Hellhound On My Trail. This ride highlights the blues and western swing past of Dallas. Once again, we’ll begin our ride at Dealey Plaza and the grassy knoll at 1:30PM on Sunday, June 12th. Be sure to arrive a few minutes early, as these history-themed group rides have been getting pretty large.
The group ride will take us through downtown Dallas and into the cradle of Dallas music history, “Deep Ellum”. From there, we’ll head over to 508 Park Avenue where the legendary Robert Johnson recorded, through the Cedars area to Bob Wills’ Longhorn Ballroom, across the scenic Corinth Street bridge, and onto the stomping grounds of T-Bone Walker. We’ll stop in the Bishop Arts for drinks, and end our tour passing Methodist Hospital, birthplace of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The ride is approximately 9.5 miles, with some small and medium sized hills. This ride will be weather permitting and open to all expierence levels. Check back prior to the ride date for updates. A Facebook event for the ride can be found here.
