All American Bike Rally, Springtown, TX   

June 11, 2011

This is a great ride. We have ridden most of the local rides and this is one of the best organized and friendly smaller rides. I would estimate 300 riders, roads were very lightly traveled, almost no chip seal. Even with the very light traffic most important intersections were traffic controlled. After the ride free BBQ sandwiches and shady place with tables to eat. This is one of the hillier rides in the area so take that into consideration. My Garmin said that there was 2,200 ft of climbing on the 52 mile route.

This was the first year for this rally & a huge congrats to everyone involved. Registration was well organized & speedy. Great start with the Pledge & Anthem with a roll out with the motorcycles. Plenty of parking. The course was challenging with lots of climbing, roads well marked with bad spots. Rest stops well maintained with the usuals & some with donuts, lots of cheering coming into & leaving the rest stops. The after ride meal was awesome of barbequed brisket burgers, chips & drinks all inside the covered football practice area with large fans going, just remember to toss in the lawn chair if you want to sit on something. Just a few things for next year would be to have your zip code on your entry form, a couple more port a potties @ reststops & SAG vehicles marked with signs.
This is a definite ride on my calendar for next year. For the first year I thought ya'll did a awesome job, congrats again.
