Shawnee Trail Cycling Club

At the request of our members ( we do listen ) and the desire to fill a gap in our ride offerings, we developed the Easy Rider. This ride is at 13-15mph with no sprints and is designed for those that wish to do more distance and faster pace than the West Frisco Cruiser, but aren’t yet up to the pace of the Saturday RBM ride. This is also an ideal ride to learn and practice group riding skills. Our ride leaders, with a smile on their face , will gladly work with you on the nuances and fun of safe group riding. The start time is 8:00 am on Saturdays, but watch our calendar, forum and this site...

Not technically a group riding opportunity, but several club members are already riding at our velodrome on Tuesday evenings. The track is open to all certified cyclists, not just Shawnee Trail CC. If you've not ridden at the Frisco SuperDrome before, you're missing a fantastic training opportunity. This facility on the Collin County Community College Campus in Frisco, Tx , is one of the premiere outdoor track venues in the country. The track is a 250 meter loop with turns that are banked at 44 degrees. The ride is a little different, on fixed gear bicycles - "no gears, no brakes and no coasting"...

Every Tuesday night at 5:00 pm, barring inclimate weather or schedule conflicts, the group is meeting at the Zen Bar Austin Ranch located at the top of Windhaven Hill.

When Bill started this ride, it was because he had other commitments on Thursdays for the summer and just wanted something to do for 10 or 12 weeks. As our club grows, we're finding that once you start a ride it's very difficult to kill it - nothing is temporary. By popular request, the Wednesday Night Special will live on. Shawnee Trail Ride Leaders have stepped up to carry it into the winter. That's right, Shawnee Trail Cycling Club now has another night ride. One more reason to push that trainer into the corner and hit the road with us, no matter the weather or how much light is out. The route...
