Departure: 9:30 AM from The Bike Shop (Richardson)Route: Richardson → Downtown Dallas (with scenic trail segments)
Activities: Sightseeing, tacos, and DART train return!
Kick off at 9:30 AM sharp from The Bike Shop in Richardson. We’ll head south toward Spring Valley, then link up with the Cottonwood Creek Trail for a peaceful, mostly car-free ride into Dallas by connecting onto the White Rock Creek Trail, a long, scenic paved route alongside nature. We will ride around 30 miles at 10 - 13 MPH.
From there we’ll continue toward White Rock Lake and pick up the Santa Fe Trail southbound into Deep Ellum and Downtown Dallas, a great way to see urban landmarks while enjoying dedicated bike paths.
