Trail Reroute due to trail closure – The Rim and Dave’s Ditch area
brushycreekbuttholes.blogspot.com
The section at the top of The Rim (aka Rim Job) that goes along the back of the new houses is closed. This section of trail has been rerouted a few feet down hill. There are Park Boundary signs and blockages to help control this reroute. The trail that goes around Dave’s Ditch and enters the ditch from the west side near the bottom is also closed.
Due to the trail going 1) onto private property (an environmental easement) and 2) a historically sensitive area the county was required to close these sections off. It is very important to respect these official trail closures, if the county cannot manage to keep …
This weekend’s rides: Pflugerville Loop! Red Horn!
by Thomas steinerranchcycling.com
Good luck to our racing team luck at Lago Vista this weekend!
Tomorrow the rest of us will do a lap around Pflugerville which is about 65 miles (route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3955052). It looks like it will be a nice day for a ride!
Sunday is our usual Coffee Shop ride to Red Horn. It is 50 miles and is at a more relaxed social pace than our Saturday rides, but we typically finish with a 17mph average speed overall. While we make great efforts to keep the group together, this is NOT a no drop ride. If …

Spring has arrived in West Texas and so have windy conditions
by Bill Cullins www.gosanangelo.com
If you were out on your road bike last Thursday morning, you were rudely reminded that spring has arrived here in West Texas as you pedaled through north winds that gusted over 30 miles per hour.
Ask any road cyclist his or her opinion of riding into the wind and you’ll likely hear some words that can’t be printed in a family-oriented newspaper.
Like it or not, area cyclists will be dealing with wind on just about any given day during the next couple of months. March and April are the windiest months of the …

Stations at MLK, Tobin and Valero trailheads
SAN ANTONIO – Hundreds of people were talking about San Antonio’s new “fixit” bike repair stations Friday afternoon when they were announced on the city’s parks and recreation social media pages.
It’s a big step for the city to become more bike-friendly. Currently, San Antonio holds a bronze rating from the League of American Bicyclists.
The newly-installed stations are at the …
Ride Interview – Bluebonnet Express 2016 – Waller, Texas
By Peter Radowick www.wheelbrothers.com
Thousands of cyclists have long had the dates April 16-17 circled in red ink. That’s the weekend of the BP MS 150, a 180-mile trek from Houston to Austin. Some 13,000 pedalers are expected in what is billed as the largest ride of its kind in North America.
But first things first. With a month to go, there’s still a lot of heavy lifting cyclists must do. And that’s where the 27th annual Bluebonnet Express comes in. Next Sunday, March 13, some 2,000 cyclists are expected to depart Waller Stadium, northwest of Houston, on one of six …

Grand Parkway Ride- Ride On Brand New Freeway!
Cycling Space City cyclingspacecity.blogspot.com
Now is prime season for riding in Houston. The weather isn’t blazing hot and humid and there are a bunch of organized rides leading up to the largest charity bike ride in the USA the- MS 150, including the Bluebonnet Express and the Tour De Houston. Bluebonnet Express is a really well organized ride run by the Northwest Cycling Club and the Tour De Houston is nice because the route changes yearly and allows for seeing areas of Houston from the perspective of your bike you may not otherwise see. But I am really excited about …
