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 late wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.

My primary bike is the Cervelo Caledonia Rival AXS below. My titanium bike is the Lynskey Helix titanium. My newest bike is a Canyon Endurace CF 7 Rival eTap.

Texas Bicycling News For November 5, 2023

Texbiker.net Posted on November 5, 2023 by Rick AnkrumNovember 5, 2023

Biking from Austin TX to Anchorage Alaska!

By Rama Hamoudah | www.crazyguyonabike.com

Why am I doing it?

My freshman year I was partnered with a girl from one of my orgs to go for a walk. It was the first time I had met her, and within the first 10 minutes of our conversation, I knew she had to be one of the coolest people I had met. She had told me about how she is currently training for a cancer charity bike ride from Austin TX to Anchorage Alaska. The whole point of the ride is to spread awareness about cancer research, hope to individuals/ families effected by cancer and raise money for those effected by cancer. After she told me what Texas 4000 was – I immediately fell in love. I spent hours looking at the profile of different riders, reading their stories on why they ride and who they are. It amazed me that people of all different backgrounds where coming together to do something that most would call crazy, but something so big and so great. I immediately told everyone I knew how incredible this thing was. So when it came time for it I applied… but I did not get in. I told myself though that I would not leave college until I do this. From freshman year to junior year I spent time reading peoples profiles and talking to riders- falling in love with the organization even more.

I applied again my junior year and now I am in the training process of riding my bike from Austin TX to Anchorage. And now more than ever I have a reason to ride. …

Fun time at today's kids #BikeRodeo! The kids learned about proper helmet fit, ABC Quick Check, basic rules of the road, and had a great time practicing their bicycle handling skills! pic.twitter.com/NNFQA16VAs

The E-W cycle track along Polk & Lamar was great (save for the two blocks where the detour bike lane was removed past Crawford). We could use a grid of protected cycles tracks/lanes across much of central Houston #BikeGridNow 8/ pic.twitter.com/OaRy9TLvse

I then used the existing Polk protected bike lanes to easily glide through #EaDoHouston. Are there plans to close the unprotected/unpainted gap between Emancipation and St Emanuel? 7/ pic.twitter.com/pNIOUEdVsS

Photos: Bike Rodeo helps youngsters learn safety on two wheels

By Juan Betancourt | dentonrc.com

Children got the chance to learn how to properly handle bikes and learn safety tips during the Bike Rodeo for Kids at the North Texas Fairgrounds on Sunday.

The Denton Evening Rotary Club, Bike Denton and Velo Republic Bike Shop hosted the event. Organizers and volunteers helped young riders through an interactive skills course, helping them learn traffic safety skills while getting better at riding.

“So the kids are going through an obstacle course to learn some rules of the road, stop signs, hand signals, but also some safety things like how to properly wear a helmet, how to check their bike over to make sure it’s safe to ride before they go ride,” said Suzi Rumohr, a Bike Denton organizer. “And then …

Just Missed 200 Mile Week. San Jacinto Bayou Greenway On Sunday

Texbiker.net Posted on November 5, 2023 by Rick AnkrumNovember 5, 2023

Day Light Saving time ended early this morning. I didn’t really think about too much until the end of the bike ride when I noticed the sun was lower than I expected. Last Sunday I rode on the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway and I repeated that again today but on a different route, Kingwood – San Jacinto Bayou Greenway – Oakhurst. I continue to enjoy the easier pedaling on my Lynskey Helix since I cleaned the chain and waxed it. The crank turns so much easier. The began at 1:42 PM after I got home from church and got ready and finished at 3:40 PM. I rode 25.94 miles. I should’ve .35 miles farther and it would’ve been a 200 mile week combing Zwift and road rides. I’m ahead of the pace to reach my 360 mile goal for November at 27% of the way there, 97.9 miles.

Weather for the ride: Start 79 degrees, humidity 62%, dew point 64.5, mostly cloudy, wind S 6 mph; Finish 79 degrees, humidity 61%, dew point 64.2, mostly cloudy, wind S 6 mph. No additional clothing required, just my normal summer kit: shorts, short sleeve jersey, and arm sleeves.

Top results from Strava: PR on Northshore Sunrise (3:45) and 3rd fastest time on Super Secret 4×4 Shortcut (1:04).

DFW XC race at Northshore trail (loop 5)

Average Texas MTBer | www.youtube.com

Holeshot… check, lead into the first turn… check, everything else… not a check. It was a huge turnout for the race with the mens intermediate class being the largest. 45 entries as of on race day. Far from a perfect race but a day on a bike is better than one at work!

Just Alike But Different; Today’s Ride and Yesterday’s

Texbiker.net Posted on November 4, 2023 by Rick AnkrumNovember 4, 2023

Today’s route map map looks like yesterday’s. I reversed many of the roads today. The distance was almost identical too. I waited for the temperature to hit 68 before getting ready to minimize the clothes because the forecast called for 80 degrees or more. I rolled out on my Cervelo Caledonia at 10:44 AM hoping I wasn’t too late to see other cyclists. The ride went south and east to Spanish Cove Drive where I made the u-turn to head back to Kingwood. I call this the Atascocita – Spanish Cove – Walden route and this was the 7th ride in 2023. I saw 4 cyclists, 2 in the Kingwood Park and Ride, 1 on W. Lake Houston Parkway at Kings River Drive, and the last one on Atascocita Shores Drive. the only one I caught with the GoPro was the last cyclist.
