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.

End of Year Reflection 2015

Ray Garza        rgvcycling.com

My goodness it’s already December and 2015 is about to be put on the shelf. Where has it all gone? Apparently it has gone under my wheels, at least over 4100 miles worth. I am surprised that I have cycled that much this year. Honestly, I had no idea I have pedaled until I looked up the number on Strava. I am pleased with what I have found and after doing some more digging, the past three years has been a steady ramp up on …


July 30th: 8 miles after sunset

by Matthew bike4heck.com

Another 8 miles after sunset complete. That puts me at about 200 miles for July cycling. Talked with a NISD police officer working security at the Ferris Athletic complex and he said I have more lights on my bike than his patrol car.

Lots of Wet Leaves on the Trails Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on December 14, 2015 by Rick AnkrumDecember 14, 2015

After a big change in the weather yesterday (Sunday) today turned out a lot better than I expected. The cool front passed through and it was 72 degrees when I left home to ride the Kingwood Greenbelt trails at 1:15. The sky was clear and the wind was light. It rained all day yesterday so the trails were wet in some places. With the wind we experienced leaves covered the trail in places where I had to look closely to stay on the concrete.

I tried a different route intending to ride to the Northpark Recreation Area. As I got to the turn I saw some construction workers ahead where Woodland Hills Drive had been extended. It was time to explore and I found a new way to reach Woodridge Forest subdivision. I took the streets to the roundabout in Woodridge Forest before heading south to Northpark Drive. Before doing that I took these pictures of the lake in Woodridge Forest.

Crossing Northpark Drive I got back on the trails and headed south to Lake Houston Parkway. At Town Center I stopped to take these pictures.

12-14-2015 Bike Ride-5
12-14-2015 Bike Ride-4

After taking the pictures I rode south through Kingwood Greens and onto W. Lake Houston Parkway. The warm weather and shinning sun was perfect. I did wear long and short sleeve jerseys and wasn’t too warm.

I moved into 6600 miles for the year with this ride. The next couple of days could be even warmer so bike riding will be in my plans.

2015: A Year in Review

by Johnny Guzman        bicyclepointofview.blogspot.com

2015 done and dusted: Does time fly quickly or what?
It seemed like a couple of weeks ago that I was typing January’s blog post about my first mountain bike race. Flash forward 12 months later and it will soon be January again in a couple of weeks. This year was packed with travel, illness and a couple of trips to the emergency room. Between all of us in the family we met our yearly medical insurance deductible for the first time in doctor’s visits. First I injured my leg the day before my mountain bike race which resulted in a big bruise that filled with fluid in my leg called either a seroma or hematoma.  A few months after that the whole family contracted mononucleosis after a cruise to the tropics. My son was in the emergency room twice, once for slipping at a water park which resulted in stitches on his head and he is currently recovering from a broken leg from landing incorrectly on a trampoline. My wife and I both had our tonsils removed and as I write this it …
