High school team, local club ride trails to stay fit, have fun.
I’m chugging my way up a single-track trail, sweat trickling down the small of my back and quads burning like someone stuck a branding iron on them.
This is bliss.
For the last few years, I’ve been hearing about the trail system in Lakeway. Friends have tried to lure me there, but it seemed too far from my home in Allandale. Besides, I thought, I’ve got the Walnut Creek Trail System, …

Now that City Council has voted to adopt the Houston Bike Plan, the city must quickly and deliberately move forward with the plan’s implementation. My interest is not solely for our community’s collective quality of life. For me, success of the bike plan, and a future with city streets that are safer for people, is deeply personal.

The Gran Fondo, benefitting CHI St. Joseph, is not for the faint of heart.
The second annual Gran Fondo event kicked off Friday as 18 local cyclists headed out to bike a 500-mile route looping through southeast Texas. The cyclists are scheduled to return to College Station this evening. Many racers do not pack sleeping or camping gear and ride almost nonstop.
“These are crazy guys and girls,” CHI St. Joseph spokeswoman Mandy Graessle said. “We don’t provide them with any rest stations, water, etc. There are no hotels; the cyclists sleep wherever they stop on the side of the road.”
By Saturday evening, a large number had dropped out, including Bryan police Sgt. Buck Rogers, 52, and two of his …

Your typical “Sunday Funday†– in its broadest pop culture definition – includes a hip brunch spot, pancakes, mimosas, and discussion of what’s going on around town.
On Sunday, San Antonians traded brunch chairs for bike and cart seats during two beloved and beneficial events: SÃclovÃa, now in its sixth year, opened up a 2.5-mile stretch from the entrance of Southtown to Concepción Park for cyclists, pedestrians, and skaters, while The Official Dignowity Hill Pushcart Derby, back by popular demand after a two-year hiatus, put San Antonians’ creative and …

Even during SÃclovÃa, San Antonio’s bike-friendly and car-free biannual event, Sam Lingo’s bicycle stood out.
The 1920’s-style handmade peddle car plodded through the 2.9-mile route Sunday, it’s bright yellow color and vintage appearance gathering gazes of even some of the fastest cyclists.
“These are just my favorite kinds of bikes, especially old English ones,†said Lingo, adding he has more than 50 vintage bikes in his home in …

Grape Creek is a little community just outside of San Angelo. It is one of the favorites of cyclists as it has good roads, few loose dogs, a lot of flat areas, and just enough inclines and rolling hills to keep one interested.

Day 26: Del Rio to Brackettville (30 bumpy hot uphill miles.. headwinds too)
Sunday March 26, 2017
It was a short ride but it seemed long due to conditions. And not much to look at. Saw hunter activity and signs for ” deer corn” so their must be a spring season for big game. Or maybe private preserves can hunt all year.
Leaving Del Rio we sensed some humidity, and saw lots more green and foliage. We are camped tonite …
