Robert Hollandsworth Starts A Ride of Undetermined LengthJanuary 1 sounds like a good time to start a bicycle tour, or turn your life around, or, if you’re Robert Hollandsworth, to do both. Robert started his Cycle for Life bicycle tour from Houston on Thursday and plans to keep cyclo-touring the US with no end in sight. He’ll survive on $200 a month from his family and whatever donations he gets from playing his guitar and tuning pianos along the way. His trip is no spur-of-the-moment New Year’s resolution. Robert’s been planning this trip for several years with advice from experienced touring bicyclists at the Internet Bicycle Touring List. At his website, he writes:

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.

It appears his blog has gone dead. Any info? I was hoping to follow his tour on the web, but now I’m worried that he has hit a snag.
http://cycleforlife.us/ works, but the journal entry I had bookmarked was dead. Sorry for the confusion!
I see the lack of more posts. Maybe he is riding and has not had time to write. I will watch and see.
Good to know. I will watch and see.
I do not personally know Robert, but he sent be a blast e mail to a bunch of people on his e mail contacts that he has me included with. In his e mail sent around the 10th of Feb. he said that he was catching a bus home to attend the funeral for a dear friend. He stated that he would be resuming his trip after the funeral. I hope he is able to continue as it seems that he was deriving so much from his touring experience and contributing so much to those he was interacting with along the way.
