Four years ago, the University of Texas Cycling Team (of which this author is an alum) decided to raise money by hosting a bicycle rally. It was the start of the fall semester, and they needed money for travel to opposing colleges and cash to pay race entry fees. They conferred with the leaders of the local cycling organizations, who told them putting on a one-day tour within their estimated time frame would be an impossible feat. They’d need at least six months, the experts told them. They had six weeks.

About Texbiker.net Texbiker.net covers the news, events and resources for those interested in Texas bicycling.
My bicycling passion was rekindled in 1979 with a Huffy bicycle from Woolco. From early rides around my neighborhood my enthusiasm grew to tackle my unsupported first century. From there I discovered organized rides all over Texas, races and mountain bikes. Many bikes and miles later the enthusiasm is still there.
Thanks to my wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.
In 1999 Texbiker.net was born to help my fellow bikers have ready access to all of the information about the Texas bicycling scene.
