Ok. Help me out @TwiceHorn or any other road bikers in DFW.
My resolution is to get back to cycling. I think I'm done with soccer. Two of my last three mountain bike rides sent me to the hospital. The only problem is that I'm not a huge fan of driving 30 mins to an hour to get to an empty road. I live in Rowlett, btw. I've been searching for a bike forum with local info; however, they all seem out of date. I'm interested in heading out to the Joe Pool Lake area as that seems to be ground zero for decent routes in the area. I have absolutely zero knowledge of the area, so I'm hesitant to just "try it out" as suggested on another forum. Any routes you know? Any forums I can visit for routes? I'm sure I can find routes on MapMyRide or Ride w/ GPS; however, that's always been hit or miss in my experience.
P.S. I've really, really begun to miss my old stomping grounds at the foot of the Smoky Mountains...
