2nd Annual Ride around Lake Mac Bicycle Ride
9 bicyclists participated in the 2nd Annual Ride Around Lake Mac bicycle ride. The ride started at the Lake McConaughy Visitor's Center on Highway 61, went east on Highway 92, east again at Highway 26 to the junction of 26/61, then continued back to the Visitor's Center.
Feedback was great! Most riders were able to complete the ride in under 4 hours! Mind you, the ride starts at 4:30-5:00 a.m. - so this is for the dedicated cyclist! Planning for next year is already underway.
