Country Roads Ramble 200k ACP brevet, June 7th

[Peter Rajcani]

Hi everyone,

It's ramble time! LSR is hosting Country Roads Ramble 200k brevet next Saturday, June 7th. This route was designed to avoid busy roads, so it stays on low traffic roads and bike paths. The route starts at Lynn Creek Marina in Grand Prairie and loops around Joe Pool Lake using the new bike paths along Camp Wisdom Road and FM-1382, then continues through Cedar Hill, Ovilla, Maypearl, Grandview and Cleburne and then loops back to Grand Prairie through Alvarado. The controls are at stores in Ovilla (mile 23), Maypearl (mile 51), Grandview (mi 65), Cleburne (mi 83), Egan (mi 95) and a photo control in Alvarado (mi 103). There is also a grocery store around mile 107 if you need to resupply for the final stretch. The route is all paved except a short (0.2 mi) gravel section past Maypearl, it can be easily ridden on a road bike. The route was first ridden last year in April and everyone enjoyed it. There is road construction south of Joe Pool Lake and one of the roads used in the route is closed, I will send an update / reroute in next few days.

Night gear (lights front and rear, reflective gear) is not required, but recommended
