For Jack Barrett and his daughter Caroline, 17, the ride is personal. Jack signed up for the marathon cycling event after Caroline was diagnosed with MS last November, right after she turned 17. …

Had to go off the ACA route today, because lodging in Burton listed by the ACA went out of business. So we decided to ride to Brenham for the overnight. We hoped to have lunch in Burton, though, and also visit their Cotton Gin Museum. Well, all the food places along with the museum were closed… Today is Wednesday – shouldn’t we have known nothing would be open? Now we were glad that their hotel was closed too and we, at least, knew about it in advance! There were some people setting up for a party next to the museum that told us about the …

My Cat2 40-44 mountain bike race video from the 2016 Pace Bend Mountain Bike Race held at Pace Bend Park in Austin Texas.
The 5th race of the Texas state 2016 series.
Pace Bend is my home course. I know this one well and the course suits my typically strong technical riding style. As I will be moving up to Cat1 next year, this is likely to be my best opportunity for a race win for a very, very long time (possible ever again). …

“You’re eyes are bigger than your stomach.†That’s something I heard my mother say more than once when I was a child and unable to eat everything on my plate. Our third long-distance bike ride with Leadership Studies Program students at Hardin-Simmons University proved to be bigger than realized by a number of would-be participants.
Originally conceived to run from the Gulf of Mexico at the Texas-Louisiana border to Sault Ste. Marie at the top of Michigan, our third ride was planned to span 1,600 miles and include …

Man, I haven’t written a blog post in a while…
Today is the first day in weeks that I actually have a little bit of downtime to collect my thoughts and put something down in print. I have been so busy as of late and will most likely continue to be busy throughout this year. There is a lot of things that I am currently planning for ( selling my rental home, planing vacations, repairing bicycles as a business, etc., etc). I have basically had to decide where to place my time best. Writing has taken a back seat behind repairing bicycles at this point. So rather than try to write a blog post with a specific subject in mind, I’m just going to write a collection of thoughts and ideas that I have had lately. …
