Join us for a leisurely bike ride on the Lake Mineral Wells Trailway.  We will meet at the Weatherford Trailhead and be ready to ride at 9 AM.  The Weatherford Trailhead is approximately 35 miles from Fort Worth and is about a 45-minute drive.  It is located off of FM 920 (Peaster Hwy.) northwest of downtown Weatherford.  When you get on FM 920, look for the signs for the Trailhead and Cartwright Park and turn left.  There is a $7 fee to use the Trailway, which is also good for Lake Mineral Wells State Park. We plan to ride west on the Trailway towards Garner (10.85 miles) at a leisurely pace and turn around before we get pooped.  You should bring plenty of water as it will probably be hot, and bike helmets are mandatory.  Liability waivers are required.  The Trailway is crushed limestone on the easy grade of an old railroad bed.  Large bike tires are preferred, but road bikes with smaller tires are suitable with caution for sandy and loose gravel areas.  We will return to the Weatherford Trailhead and find a good place for lunch or some liquid refreshments. No need to register, just show up at the Trailhead and be ready to ride by 9 AM.  Contact leaders, Lisa Gowan  at 817-691-9901 and email lgowan@me.com, or Tolbert Greenwood at 817-455-3302 and email tolbertgreenwood@gmail.com, for any questions or more information.  See http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/lake-mineral-wells/trailway-1 for more information about the trailway.
