Spindletop Spin - Beaumont, TX   

June 4, 2011

.Excellent ride and very much worth the drive from Dallas. Did the 100 mile route and only climbed 600 feet the entire time. Beautiful scenery next to the ocean and also 100 foot trees for many miles blocking the wind. Route directions were spot on. Police protection at intersections getting out of town was the best I have seen. All were very friendly and helpfull. Temperature creeped to 100 degrees and they were prepared. Wind was about 7 to 12 mph. Sag support if needed everywhere to help you. It felt like the entire town of Beaumont came out to help you on this ride. All rest stops had Ice, pickles and all the other goodies plus many more items you needed to rehydrate. They even had gel pacs. Very nice T-shirts and also alot of give-a-ways. At the end of the ride they had Ice Cold Keg Beer, Boudan Sausage Hot Dogs and BBQ Dogs. Yummy and boy did it taste good with the temperature. I will do this ride again next year and very much looking forward to it. Thanks.
