A junior at Our Lady of the Hills High School, who competes in football, soccer and cross country, Domingue blazed his way to a Texas Mountain Bike Racing Championship in the sport junior men’s 17-18 division when he snatched a third place finish in Eldorado in May.

The Houston Chronicle Business section has a front page article on Houston oil companies encouraging employees to ride their bicycles to work.

Exxon Mobil, BP and ConocoPhillips are among the Houston-area employers trying to make it easier for employees to bike to work.

Workers already have enough excuses: potholes, impatient drivers and the Houston heat.

But some businesses are easing the commute for those who decide the exercise and reduced emissions make biking worthwhile. They’re giving them locker rooms, shower areas and safe places to park their bikes.

I would like to join this movement but my work place is 42 miles from my home.

Welcome to the 6th Annual Liberty Hill Lions “RIP ROARIN’ RIDE”, one of the most scenic routes in Texas. You will experience the Texas Hill Country in a unique way, with lovely vistas, gorgeous valleys with century-old oaks, and crystal-clean, spring-fed creeks. You may get a glimpse of a fox, a flock of wild turkeys or a red tail hawk, and, of course, our white-tail deer.

Starting at Liberty Hill High School on Highway 29, this sixth annual ride for charitable purposes will take you through scenic rolling hills and valleys of Williamson and Burnet counties on routes of 14, 28, 47, 63, 77 and 100 miles. There will be great rest stops, fantastic food, super SAG support and friendly people. Riders will start at 8 A.M. - none after 9 A.M. - and must clear the course by 4 P.M. You’ll finish back at Liberty Hill Middle School, next to the High School where you will enjoy free food, cold drinks and entertainment.
