I’m out here in West TX filling in for a company while they hire extra local help so I figured I’d bring my bike after a quick internet search showed there was an MTB park in Odessa.
It’s only a few miles from the Warehouse I’m working out of and I had time to head over there yesterday afternoon. I had to buy a helmet as it’s required (as well as a 25/year membership to the Permian Basin Bicycle Association) but soon realized that the helmet was necessary due to terrain and will be …

Registration time. The weather was iffy as rain was forecast throughout the day. And it was a little chilly.
Unfortunately for the tour director, a lot of riders failed to show due to the weather forecast. Instead of distance–24, 40, 70 miles–we were lined up by projected speed. So if you were an 18+ mph average …

Day 17 Texas: Deridder – Silsbee, Texas
Tuesday March 14, 2017, 74 miles (119 km) – Total so far: 1,061 miles (1,708 km)

The sun was out today which made for pleasant riding. At 20 miles a layer could be peeled off, a dog outside a store wanted a fuss made of him. A dog being friendly? Never. Yes it’s true.
At Merryfield and 25 miles into the day it had warmed up considerably, into a chicken shack for food, sadly no coffee have to …

If selected, the grant would pay for 80 percent of construction costs, but would not cover any engineering fees or right of way acquisition. Officials estimated the grant would require a $230,000 match, plus another $150,000 in non-eligible costs – for a total of $380,000 of local money needed for the project.
Eng said Tyler has 25 miles of designated bike routes, but only five miles have designated bike lanes.
The city doesn’t have a formal plan for the grant funds yet, but will be developing it through the …
