TIME CHANGE. Start moved to 10:30 due to cold temps
Our good friends (dare I say great friends?) at Iron Riders Dallas have invited STCC to join them this Saturday for their annual Major Taylor ride and event in celebration of the life and legacy of Major Taylor and his contributions to the world of cycling.
This is a great group to ride with and almost guaranteed a good morning out. Let's head to Mansfield and get on some roads and ride with folks that we don't see often!
It's free, no registration required. Thanks to some issues with FaceBook, We've included the invite below. Hope to see you there!
