All I can say is watch that darn city traffic. I work in Dallas several times a year, rode there last year on a 10 day bike trip (almost put her down). Never seen more construction on the roads than any other city. I travel all over N America and I swear, Dallas is the worst. Some of the greatest people you will ever meet though. Let us know how the trip goes.
