Road Ride Before the Cold Arrives By Rick Ankrum, on January 28, 2010, 8:20 pm Another cold front moves in after midnight so if I was going to get another ride before the end of the month it had to be tonight. The temperature for the ride was 64 degrees and the wind was from the SE at 17mph. I rode my Raleigh M800 mountain bike with the lights working overtime. Because of the heavy clouds there was no moonlight to help. This weekend the temperatures are not supposed to go above 52 degrees. This is too far below my temperature limit. I’ll be inside doing house repairs and remodeling.

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.

I hear ya. We had heavy rains today here in Fort Worth, but I made sure I rode my bike to work yesterday in anticipation of the lousy weather. I had to ride my backup commuter (’83 Raleigh Marathon) since I’ve had some broken spokes on my primary commuter (’94 Nishiki hybrid) and am waiting for a new rear wheel.
You are riding some older wheels. I don’t feel so bad with my 1996 Raleigh M800 MTB. Wise planning to avoid the weather.
