Hand Cycling in South Fort Worth 6/24/09
Posted on June 26th, 2009 2 comments
We finally got a group of rider to get together in South Fort Worth. Five RISE Rugby players, some friends, family and Peanut all came out to Pecan Valley Park in Benbrook. It was a blast, but a little on the hot side. The temperature was in the upper 90’s but the trail is almost all in the shade. We planed the event late so there wasn’t any direct sun on us and we all brought our super sprayers from rugby, so we were all wet and cool. The trail is about a 4 mile loop, but one of the parks is under construction so we had to double back. It was no big deal though, but I hope that part of the trail opens soon. The trail is very nice and smooth with some rolling hills and a few bridges that go over the Clear Fork of the Trinity River. Overall it was a great bike ride and we all had fun. If you are interested in going contact me and we will plan another ride. slarimore@riseadventures.orgTo view more photos click here.

We had another fine day of handcycling this afternoon. Michelle of course was there and I say of course because before the month was a week old I had an e-mail from her signing up for all the dates available this month. There also were a couple of first-timers Moise and Bill, it is special to see new riders learn that sometimes it’s fun to get “CRANKY”

: I am trying to organize a group of 10 - 12 people for a game of wheelchair cricket. I have a few friends who would gladly coach us in how to play cricket. Hopefully, we can get a match scheduled somewhere indoors or before it gets too hot if it's outdoors. Please contact me if you'd like to play or know anyone who would. Thanks.

: This was a wonderful event. I volunteered at Gary Pickle's golf station and watching him instruct the youngsters on how to swing a golf club was impressive and seeing the awesome look on their faces was amazing. Good Show! and glad I got to experience this feat. Thank you for being there for them!
