Click here to see the bike we’ll be giving away (Yes, we’re giving away a bike!)
The Texas Chainring Massacre will be a full on gravel grinder featuring a unique combination of dirt roads and desolate country roads that promises to be both scenic and challenging. Riders will be able to enjoy a fantastic route that starts and ends in the “civilized” part of the D/FW Metroplex near Valley View, TX while meandering through some scenic rural areas…
Early bird special for the first 50 riders is $20 entry fee which will move up to $30 once we hit that threshold. FYI, we already have over 20 registrations in just over a day of being on our facebook page. ALSO Dorba/Fwmba members use coupon code Member for an extra $5 off. That means you can get a $15 entry if you hop on early and are a member.
Currently parking is limited at the staging area so we will cap entries at 100. There is a 45ish mile route as well as a 90ish mile route. It’s gonna be a great ride! Must be present at the event to win the bike. We will be doing a drawing from signed waivers.
Quack, Quack!

Wow, we ended up with 53 entries! More than twice what we were expecting. Thanks all for signing up. I promise the ride will be a memorable one.
A few housekeeping items…
1. Unfortunately the portajohns that have always been at the staging area parking lot weren’t there today when we went to mark course. There will be restrooms along the course but do your preride business before you get there.
2. Map to staging area is here http://g.co/maps/qp8fg
3. We won’t be providing SAG but we won’t leave anyone hanging either. My number is 817-715-0533 if you run into trouble. We always recommend trying to ride with other riders when possible as well.
4. We will be there around 8am to have waivers signed. Riders’ meeting will be 8:45 so try to be there by 8:30 at the latest.
5. Feel free to explore the Stock Yards or anything else you come across. Text me if you feel you are going to detour for several hours though. We won’t be having a formal check in or an official sweep process since folks can meander if they choose to.
6. Course is marked but marking can come down for various reasons. The Trinity Trail will get you directly to Gateway Park if you get off course. Most folks on the TT are very helpful if you need directions.
7. Have a blast!
As always, feel free to touch base if you have any questions.

MonsterCross Monday will be a unique, “urbanesque” adventure ride. Surfaces will include singletrack, doubletrack, paved roads, brick roads, paved trail and even some hike-a-bike.
Staging is from Gateway Park in Fort Worth, TX and the route will include the River Legacy trail in Arlington, TX as well as the Fort Worth Stock Yards, the Trinity Trail and a preview of the new trail across the river from Gateway Park. Course will be marked and GPS tracks will be made available.
This ride will be open to bikes of any type and part of the fun is figuring out which would be the weapon of choice. Online registration only since we will not be able to collect funds day of. Please contact us if you need to make payment arrangements that don’t include a credit card.

Holiday Ramble Gravel Grinder
Here’s a Spinistry Thanksgiving thank you.
Sunday after Thanksgiving starting from Oak Ridge, TX (about an hour North of the Metromess)
This is a fun ride not an event so no charge. We’ll probably be doing a toy drive for needy kids but it won’t be required. Route is about 60 miles and we’ll probably offer shorter route too. We will provide cue sheets and GPS plots but the course WILL NOT be marked. This will be completely self supported and you will need to carry enough supplies to get you through the full route. Find some folks to buddy up with and enjoy the terrain and scenery.
Here’s a link to longer route…
