The Tenth Annual Gateway to Texas Get-a-Way Tandem Tour

October 7-9, 2016 Clarksville, Texas

We are excited to be celebrating the Tenth Annual Gateway to Texas Get-a-Way Tandem Tour this year. Each year we look forward to spending time with old friends and making new ones, but especially this year as we celebrate our tenth anniversary. It is hard to believe that nine years have passed since we held our first Gateway to Texas Get-a-Way Tandem Tour. Now some of you think you caught me-tenth annual, but nine years. Well, I will let you think about if for a while. We do hope that you will join us as we look forward to the 2016 Gateway to Texas Get-a-Way Tandem Tour being our best year ever. The 101½ Saloon will be the location for our evening meals and get-togethers. The 101½ has become a favorite spot for spending time after a great day of cycling. Entertainment will be provided by the always spectacular Don Pierce. There will be an open bar (beer and wine) both evenings at no additional cost. The Saloon will open at 6:00 each evening and dinner will be served at 7:30. Accommodations are available at the Courthouse Inn and the Red River Inn, although some rooms may have already been booked. There are also several options available for anyone interested in bringing a camper. There are camper pads and hook-ups at Langford Lake (about a half mile north of town) and next to the Old Jail (in the general vicinity of the Courthouse Inn). The registration fee of $110 covers the evening meals on both Friday and Saturday, entertainment on both Friday and Saturday evenings, an open bar (beer and wine) on both Friday and Saturday evenings, and breakfast both Saturday and Sunday for those staying at the Red River Inn. Participants will be responsible for their own lodging and for lunch. Schedule: Friday (10/07) Check-in/Registration will be any time after 12:00 p.m. at the Historic Red River County Chamber of Commerce (101 N. Locust on the Square). Additional directions will be provided at registration to specific accommodations depending on preference (B & B/Red River Inn/Campsites). A short ride of 20-30 miles will be planned for Friday afternoon, with no specific start time. The 101½ Saloon in historic Downtown Clarksville will be open for mingling and getting acquainted at 6:00, and Don Pierce will be on hand to provide our entertainment. Also, there will be an open bar throughout the evening.



Saturday (10/08) Breakfast will be provided at the Red River Inn between 7:30 to 8:30 for those staying at the Red River Inn or for anyone camping that wants to make their way to the Red River Inn. Ride Details - We will hold a mass start at 9:00. While there will be a mass start, riders who want to start earlier or later will have that option (anytime between 8:30 to 10:00). Two ride distances will be available with approximate distances of 50 and 75 miles. (If anyone would like a shorter route, please email me, and we can include a shorter loop). Red River County is reasonably flat, but very scenic and fun to ride with minimal traffic. The routes will be a marked and SAGed with rest stops every 20-25 miles. Dinner will be catered and will be served at 7:30, but please come early to enjoy the entertainment and visit with friends. The Saloon will open at 6:00. Sunday (10/09) Breakfast will be provided at the Red River Inn between 7:30 to 8:30 for those staying at the Red River Inn or for anyone camping that wants to make their way the Red River Inn. Ride Details - The ride on Sunday will start at 9:00 and will cover a distance of 25-35 miles. Breakfast and ride start times are the same for both Saturday and Sunday. Accommodations: The Courthouse Inn Bed & Breakfast located in downtown Clarksville is the most charming option. Space is limited to 6 teams. Please call 903-427-0801 or 903-427-5435 to make your reservations. Please indicate that you will be participating in the Tandem Rally as they have blocked all rooms for us for the weekend. The Red River Inn (903-427-2278) is locally owned and is on par with a Motel 6. They offer remodeled and nonsmoking rooms-some with mini refrigerators and microwaves. The rooms aren't plush, but they are nice and clean. We have many tour participants that routinely stay there. Camping at Langford Lake or the Old Jail should be coordinated with the City of Clarksville (903-427-3834 or 903-427-3836). Langford Lake is a reservoir owned by the City of Clarksville, and it is located just north of town. The area surrounding the lake has undergone many improvements over the last several years. There are 6 concrete camper pads and hookups located on the northwest side of the lake in a nice secluded area. Also, the city has developed 3 camper sites next to the Old Jail near the Courthouse Inn. Support: Saturday and Sunday rides will include SAG support and directional signage on the route. Rest stops will be provided at 20-25 mile intervals on Saturday only. Maps will be provided for all routes.

DATES Halloween Ride October 29-30, 2016 Ride Start at 9:00 a.m.

START LOCATION: Purtis Creek State Park (Eustace, TX) to Tyler ROUTE OPTIONS: Saturday is 51 or 57 miles and Sunday is 47 or 60 miles RIDE LEADERS: Scott and Mindy Mashburn CONTACT INFO: [email protected]

Mindy 214-395-9565, Scott 214-641-5607

It's time for the annual Halloween Ride through beautiful East Texas to Tyler. We will meet in Purtis Creek State Park in Eustace (62 miles from Dallas) and ride to Edom for lunch at The Shed. There are funky little art galleries and shops there as well. We will then continue on to Tyler, staying at the Comfort Suites Hotel.

As always, we will hold a happy hour there, so bring your snacks to share and your beverage of choice. Tyler is now "wet" for beer and wine! Hurray! They sell it in grocery stores, gas stations, etc. So you do not need to bring your booze with you unless you have that special bottle you've been dying to drink! There are quite a few restaurants within walking distance for dinner after that. Breakfast is provided by the hotel, and we will ride back to Purtis Creek State Park where DATES will provide a picnic lunch spread.

Here are the details:

Ride start is 9 a.m. To get to Purtis Creek State Park, take US 175 E toward Kaufman. After Mabank, take exit to County Road 2938 and turn left. Go about 4 miles and merge onto 316 till you see the park entrance on the left.

There is NO SAG, so you will have to carry your overnight gear, food, water, tools, etc. We will provide maps/cue sheets and GPS routes, and if you are late, they will be left on the windshield of our car (silver Lexus SUV).

I will block rooms at the Comfort Suites, and you will need to make your own reservation. 903-534-0999. These rooms will be released 2 weeks prior to the event. They are under the DATES name.

Costumes and bike decorations are optional but always fun!!

Please RSVP to Mindy at [email protected] by October 1, so she will know how many to make the lunch reservation for.



Icefields Tour – September 2015 By Pete Holverson

(Continued from August 2016 DATESLine)

The Tour…..

This Icefields tour was a reprise of a Tour in 2008 put on by Mike and Susan Mahoney. On that occasion I believe the only DATES representatives were Don and D’Ann Hunt (and they gave a glowing review). On our trip there were all DATES teams: Holverson/Roberts, Thomsons, Reeves and the Carlsons. Our small but merry band was rounded out by the Mahoneys, ride leaders and organizers.

Our first three nights were in the pleasant town of Jasper which somehow combines glitzy tourist town amenities with a gritty, backwoods pioneer sensibility - in a very walkable package and set amid stunning mountains.

Official Ride Day One was supposed to be a ten-mile shakedown up the hill to Pyramid Lake, but the day dawned cold and wet. Even after a few cups of the excellent Bear Hill Lodge coffee, no one was excited about going for a ride. We grabbed a rental car and set off with the Reeves to explore Maligne Canyon on foot. It was a fascinating place, the river starting out like a small Hill Country creek, then plunging over a series of high falls, always bound by cliffs you could literally jump

between, if you were willing to climb over the fence and take your life in your hands. Before we knew it we had hiked halfway back to Jasper and it was time to head back up the hill to continue exploring.



At the head of the Maligne Valley is the large and famous Maligne Lake. It’s mostly accessible only by water and we saw a sign to Spirit Island – 14km and 9hrs by Canoe or 1.5hrs by tour boat. We capitulated and booked tickets on a tour boat for the next day, hoping for better weather. We continued on to another 2-hour hike to a pair of kettle lakes on the Skyline trail. We did not see bears but we did encounter a seriously aggressive squirrel. By the time we got back to the lodge it was too late to ride, but we found that everyone else had ridden to Pyramid Lake for a shake down. Canadian language tip: a Bloody Mary is called a Caesar. I found one

with a stick of Bacon for a stirrer. What more could you ask for? Ride Day Two dawned cloudy and cold, but not actually raining. There was no prevaricating about the bush; it was time to get on the bike. Our previous adventure had introduced us to the route, which was good and bad. We knew what was ahead of us, but we knew that what was ahead of us was 30 miles of steady climbing to Maligne Lake. We passed a steep section by the canyon, an easier section by Medicine Lake, which acts as a giant cistern for the caves that feed the canyon, then a final steep section. We were happy to beat 3 hours to the lake and managed to change our reservations for an earlier cruise. It was hard to get back on the bike after a 2-hour break, and it seemed we

got a good headwind both ways, but the return was as downhill as out had been up, so we finished our 60-mile shakedown strong.

Ride Day Three was the first true Icefields day. We had volunteered to drive the support van for the day, but we had a plan to get some miles. After shepherding the group through the Jasper National Park gate, we drove to Athabasca Falls and parked, then rode up to Sunwapta Falls lodge, where we were booked for the night. The hill was a good one and we hit 53.8 mph on the way down. When got back to the van, the group had almost



finished lunch. We couldn’t resist a little detour down the 93A (93 eh?), where the Autumn colors were spectacular. We had been warned about the road surface on the 93A and there were plenty of patches, but nothing we couldn’t ride around. We couldn’t resist taking some time to explore the very impressive Falls. By the time we made it back to the lodge with the luggage, everyone had arrived already and become familiar with the operations of the bar. The Sunwapta Falls were within easy walking distance of the Lodge and, though less impressive than Athabasca Falls, they made for a pleasant pre-prandial expedition.

Ride Day Four was the “Queen Stage” of the tour, over 60 miles and topping out around 6800ft, a good 2000ft higher than our starting point. The route divided into two parts: generally up for 30 miles to the Columbia Icefields, then generally down for 30 miles to the Saskatchewan River. With a fairly early start, it was chilly until the sun herded the shadows off the road like a patient sheepdog. We were glad of the uphill tempo along the river valley to keep us warm.

Gradually we approached true high country. The river opened into a huge alluvial plain. Hanging glaciers and seracs appeared and then the Sunwapta Pass announced itself. This proved to be a long, tough grind and we had just barely enough gears to do it justice. Near the top we ran into a long line of traffic stopped for roadwork – clearing loose rock from an avalanche area. Everyone cheered us on as we squeezed by on the shoulder. It felt a bit like the Tour de France except that the Canadians don’t seem to have learned the word “Allez-eh”. Strange, I thought they were bilingual.

We had to wait a bit at the top, but fortunately the workmen gave bikes a “tandem start” over the rest of the traffic.

We thought the hard work was done, but the Icefield is a geological place full of geologic forces. The glacier was cooling and densifying air until it rolled down the valley like frigid tumbleweed. The



resulting cross-headwind made for a very tough mile or two; we were leaning at about 20 degrees just to avoid falling over. There’s a restaurant and visitor’s center at the icefield, but too crowded and touristy for anything more than a refueling stop. There was, however, a great exhibit of old photos in the basement which was not to be missed, (and pleasantly overlooked by most visitors - not crowded at all).

After the icefield was a teaser false flat followed by the meat of the descent, 1800ft in 8 miles, pitching all the way to about 10% and with a huge u-bend in the middle. We were glad of our drag brake and tried to keep below 45mph. Below the Weeping Wall cliff of waterfalls the grade eased and the last 20 miles was as good a rolling romp as any tandemist could want. We were a bit surprised not to catch up with the Thompsons, who had driven the first leg and started down ahead of us. We figured fresh legs were trumping our tired dogs.

It was impossible to miss “The Crossing”, the only hotel for miles. We quickly settled onto the balcony bar to enjoy some well-earned suds. After two beers, the van arrived, but Harry was driving, not Chuck Carlson as planned. We quickly found out that the Thompsons had blown a rear tire in the steepest part of the descent. Somehow Harry kept the bike upright and there was no damage to the team. But the bike was another story: the rear rim and tire were destroyed. Both we and the Reeves missed Harry and Jeanette waving at us from a turnout halfway down the pass. Those white knuckle descents take a lot of focus!

Ride Day Five was almost a reprise of the day before: quickly crossing the Saskatchewan River then a steady climb to Bow Pass and Bow Summit. Somewhere we ran into brand new pavement. Fresh, steaming black asphalt, just like the Tour de France. We knelt and kissed it on both cheeks (at least that’s what I remember). Bow Pass was a little longer and a little less steep than Sunwapta Pass and reached about the same altitude. The top was a great place to picnic and a short walk led to a fantastic view of Peyto Lake. The weather was starting to turn and it was easy to believe the sign that told us that Bow Summit is covered with snow three quarters of the year. Despite this, half of Canada was up at the viewpoint.



It started to sleet the last 5 miles in to Lake Louise, so we were pleased to get into town. There was a good sting in the tail to the ride: we had a 2-mile climb out of town to our accommodations at Paradise Cabins. It was as steep as either of the passes and it really bit our legs after more than 50 miles. We immediately vowed to survive on frozen pizza if necessary. No way were we going to climb that hill twice in one day!

Next Day was a rest day. The weather set in to rain and snow. Perfect hiking weather! One advantage of the tough slog up to Paradise was that it put us just

a mile or so from the end of Lake Louise. There was a decent footpath, so we didn’t need to share the shoulder with tour bus traffic. Despite the weather, Chateau Louise was an ant-hill of tourist activity. We didn’t spend any time figuring if there were attractions within - We were here to hike!

We were in the clouds by now, with the narrow side of the lake sometimes visible, but mostly shrouded mysteriously in snow squalls. The path along the lake started out with smooth asphalt and busy as a shopping mall. It only took a kilometer or so for the crowds to thin out, but the traffic remained diverse: grizzled mountain men juxta-positioned against umbrella toting Sunday best. Our first objective was the Teahouse at the Plain of Six Glaciers, famed for its amazing views, but the views in our case were pale mist against paler snowflakes.

The Teahouse itself was a delicious confection transplanted straight from the Himalaya. Two stories high, built of wood and stone and festooned with colorful prayer flags, it appeared like a mirage out of the ether. The two girls running the place had to pack everything in, slept in the Teahouse and only got a fire at night to save wood. We loved the Teahouse and dehydrated soup never tasted so good.

The next objective was the St Agnes Teahouse. We set off and quickly passed some Mountain Goats, really looking at home in the blizzard. I suggested a detour via the Great Beehive, which I’m sure would have had great views on a clear day, but turned out to be steep and rocky.



St Agnes Teahouse too proved much less appealing than the Glaciers Teahouse, with more amenities, many more crowds and the lake was too shrouded in fog to impress. I suffered the consequences of my poor navigational decision with a stony silence that lasted all the way back to Chateau Louise.

Ride Day Six was a day we had been told to look forward to. Lake Louise is connected to Banff not only by the Freeway, but also by the scenic Bow Valley Parkway, which was said to be cycling heaven.

The day dawned with six inches of fresh snow around our cabin. There was distinct bagging mood in camp, a dissolute drive to disassembly. Cases and tools appeared out of nowhere. I checked the road surface towards town. It was slushy but not actually frozen and should get better lower down, but that was a cold looking descent, hanging on the brakes and not even pedaling to get warm. Reluctantly I reached for street clothes. But the Reeves had not succumbed to ennui. Hugh was knocking on the cabin door asking if we were ready to ride? Well heck yes!

It turned out to be a great decision, though second guessed a couple of times negotiating the hill into town and a slippery moose guard. Soon we were riding the sinuous scenic parkway with sun splashes and snowy shoulders. Our smiles were plastered in place. The road was rolling and twisting the whole way, with glimpses of cliffs and the river through the trees and clouds which steadily lifted and became cottony. Despite some pitches the parkway ran mostly downhill and fully lived up to its reputation. A fantastic ride. We wouldn’t have missed it. Thanks again to the Mahoney Planning Committee!



Mumby & Mashburn visit in Colorado By Scott Mashburn

Mindy and I, otherwise known as “Team Mashburn”, had a reunion with Marc and Susie Mumby in the Aspen, Colorado area the last weekend of August. The Mumby’s were returning to California

after a stay in Steamboat Springs and Mindy and I were in the first week of our Colorado, New Mexico vacation. So, it worked out for the Mumbys to swing by Basalt and spend a few additional days riding the Rio Grande Trail and the Maroon Creek Road. As you may know the Rio Grande Trail connects Aspen and a point just beyond Glenwood Springs with 42 miles of continuous trail. We met up in Glenwood Springs and rode to the end of the trail at Dotsero and back for about 32 miles. And, beautiful miles they were along the Colorado River with magnificent views all around. It was an out and back ride so when we got back we found a taco bar and replenished ourselves. That evening, Saturday, the Mumbys came by our cabin on the Frying Pan River and we cooked a feast consisting of most of the animals in the western diet. To the music of the Frying Pan River flowing just outside our door we ate, drank and got caught up with each other’s lives.



The next day we started at a point just southeast of Basalt and rode the trail to the Maroon Bells road and then up to the Maroon Bells trail head. It was a spectacular climb to the trail head and a fast ride back down. For about two minutes I rode alongside a deer who appeared to want to challenge me to the bottom. He eventually peeled off and vanished into the forest as I continued on. The four of us regrouped at the bottom of the road and made our way back to our starting point. It was an inspiring experience for all of us. That evening we attended an outside performance of “As You Like It” in Aspen followed by dinner in Basalt at the Temporanillo restaurant, where we had our “bon voyage” visit with the Mumbys. We saw them off to their hotel and Mindy and I headed back to our cabin on the river. We heard from Susie later that they got a good early start and were on track to get back home by Tuesday. It was great to see the Mumbys and they said to wish all their DATES friends the very best.

Goat Neck 2016 By Cindy Edmison

Our 1st paid ride on the tandem. Very proud of my captain getting us through the crowd.



Safety Tip By Scott Mashburn

Take a few minutes before each ride and closely inspect your bike tires. Wipe them off with a rag and look for suspicious cracks, specks of glass, thorns that have yet to bore into the tube or just anything that does not look right. Consider the overall condition of the tires and think back on how many miles are on them. Tires and tubes are the soft underbelly of bicycle safety. Failure can, at the very least, cause an inconvenience and at that the most can cause great injury. Tires are actually quite cheap compared to the cost of your health, safety and well-being.
