About Tour of Dallas
Years ago, Bikin’ Mike Keel shared a dream with a group of friends. The dream was for a local cycling event that was easy to get to, easy to participate in and especially inviting to beginning level cyclists. That group of friends helped launch Tour Dallas.
Since that time, Tour Dallas has grown into quite an event – far beyond our hopes and dreams and infinitely beyond the capabilities of one person. It takes a group of dedicated people to produce Tour Dallas.
