Unlocked Ride Series: Shorter and Longer Ride | Dallas,Texas - The Meteor
Organized by CANYON
This awaits you

Unlock the absolute best of Texas riding. Join Canyon for a bucket-list day on your bike, linking together a masterpiece of the region's premier roads and hidden all-road sectors. Best of all, this event is 100% free and fully supported. We believe a great day on the bike shouldn't come with a registration fee, so our dedicated ride leaders and aid stations will be there to back you up every mile of the way.

Whether you are looking for a scenic, social challenge or a longer, epic day in the saddle, we are mapping out two incredible routes that capture the true soul of Dallas cycling. This ride isn't about who finishes first; it's about conquering the route together, making new friends along the way, and experiencing the exact terrain the Canyon Endurace was engineered to dominate.

/// What you're getting into ///

Let's be real with you—these routes are going to be stunning, but you need the right setup. Expect sweeping, premium pavement that transitions seamlessly into beautiful, hidden all-road sectors.

This ride is being curated specifically around 32mm slick road tires. This is not a gnarly gravel event, so leave the ultra-wide knobby tires at home, but ensure your road or all-road bike is well-maintained and capable of handling light, rolling unpaved sectors.

/// Choose your own adventure ///

We've got two routes on deck for you: a 40-mile mixed-bag that features the best Dallas has to offer, and a slightly shorter 30-mile version.

/// The Longer Route (39 mi, 658 ft) ///

https://www.strava.com/routes/3537569126146499786

Intermediate-Advanced level. A true bucket-list loop designed to test your legs, featuring premium road and select unpaved sectors. This is a "ride-at-your-own-pace" group, with the ride leaders averaging around 15 mph.

/// The Shorter Route (Details Coming Soon) ///

Beginner-Intermediate level. This route will be about 30 miles total, featuring mostly road with light unpaved sectors. We will head out the same way as the long route, shortening the loop by roughly 10 miles. This route may be shorter on miles but never shorter on fun. We will keep a steady, social, "no-drop" party pace, re-grouping to make sure no one gets left behind (group pace averaging around 13 mph (22 km/h)).

/// Aid stations + Self-support ///

You won't be out there alone. We will have dedicated aid stations and Canyon ride leaders to assist with navigation or major mechanicals.

However, being self-sufficient ensures a seamless day for everyone. Please bring your flat kit (at least one spare inner tube, tire levers, and a pump/CO2 inflator), your tools, two full water bottles, and your preferred ride snacks.

/// Strict Ride Rules: ///

Helmet Mandatory: A certified cycling helmet is strictly required. No helmet, no ride.

No Aero Bars: Do NOT use time-trial or aero bars while riding inside the pack.

Ride Smart: Do not cross the yellow center line on descents or blind corners.

Leave No Trace: Do not litter. Pack out your empty gel wrappers and tubes.

/// After the ride ///

We're starting and finishing out of The Meteor Dallas. Hang around after the ride to connect, re-fuel with fantastic post-ride coffee and food, and test ride the all-new Canyon Endurace. This is the part of the day that reminds you why you do this.
