Join us for a special edition of BBQ, Bikes, & Beer as we celebrate Freddie’s birthday! We will meet at his favorite barbecue spot, 225° BBQ in Arlington. Arrive by 8:30am and be ready for group photos/announcements at 8:45am. Wheels will go down promptly at 9am to beat the heat. 🔥
We have a great route planned — we will roll through the beautiful River Legacy Park and ride by CentrePoint, Hurricane Harbor, Esports Stadium, plus the home stadiums for both the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys, before returning to the restaurant for a fabulous lunch.
If you've never been to 225° BBQ, you’re in for a treat! The family-owned restaurant started as a food truck and has received multiple awards. All your favorite barbecue items will be available, as well as specialty items like cherry bombs, brisket elotes, plus birria tacos and ramen. Wanna quench your post-ride thirst with beer? Black Sheep Sports Bar, which shares the space with 225°, will have $1.50 domestics and $2.50 imports. If you can’t make the ride or want to invite friends, we expect to return to the restaurant around 11am.
📌 We will have two pace groups like last time:
Group A will ride 30 miles at an average speed of 16-17 mph.

If you’re interested in leading a slower-paced C group on a shorter route, shoot us a message or comment here.
📌 Helmets are REQUIRED. Check your bike and gear before the ride. Download the route, and pack a spare tube/necessary tools. Bring plenty of hydration with electrolytes. Call out hazards, and avoid passing the leaders. Stay in two lines unless instructed to get in a single file. We cannot stop for mechanicals, so have a rideshare app ready. As always, you're responsible for your own safety and bike.
See y’all on Saturday. August 9th!
