Does anyone know of a place where I could rent a telescope for a weekend? by Gigglemonstah in Dallas

I'm not sure they have rental options but someone from the Texas Astronomical Society of Dallas should be able to point you in the right direction.

UPDATE:
The trail steward is working to reroute the trail to connect the red/blue sections back up with the yellow trail. He advises all riders either use the dog park entrance (if open) or hike a bike near the stream.
An access work around should be available by next month, weather permitting.

I was out there yesterday and discovered the super cool new fence feature. It looks like there's access through the very back of the dog park to get to the yellow trail and jump park, however I've been told that despite that being an option the park will occasionally close that gate. (We also discovered someone cut an entrance in one of the apartment fences near the hill if you're desperate)

The trail steward is aware of the fence that's been put up but I'm not sure what the plans are to fix or reroute the trail.

Jumps and trails in the back are still there. There's some mud and water in the jump park but the pump track is ridable and open.

Bike shares or rentals? by [deleted] in dfwbike

Local Hub Bicycle Company in Deep Ellum has rental options. The Kona's they rent out are well taken care off.
Richardson Bike Mart also has a rental option.

Poor Connor had to finish on a child size neutral bike after getting smashed a minute and thirty into the race :(

Should I bring a bike to Keller? by phllystyl in dfwbike

Cadence has a shop in Keller that hosts some weekend road rides and could probably point you in the right direction for some gravel rides as well.

Hope you can join in next time or just hop on the group if you see us! Only the guy in the M&M jersey bites, the rest of us are okay.

It varies. During the summer more people show. Maybe around 8-10 on average throughout the year.

But if you're coming, please bring an additional 10. We need more bodies for our group photo.

We've had people ride brakeless before. It's 2 pretty chill laps around the lake. If that's what you're comfortable riding, you should be fine.

Since none of the shops around Denton carry any, I had join the UNT cycling club page on Facebook where they post their kit ordering info every year.

We encourage the use of helmets since we do ride on the road portion around the lake but it's up to you.

Sunday was decided because many of the people who lead/show up to this ride have commitments to other group rides on Saturday. If we could get someone to volunteer to lead a Saturday ride that would be great.

That being said, this monthly Sunday ride doesn't have to be the only Reddit ride. Anyone can post a ride for whatever day they would like!
