Keith Burgess-Jackson Rides the Paluxy Pedal

This morning, in beautiful Glen Rose, Texas, I did my 22d bike rally of the year and my 443d overall. At this time of year in North Texas, you can get any type of weather, from heat and humidity at one extreme to cold rain at the other. Luckily for those of us who rode today, the weather was superb. Several hundred riders showed up at Glen Rose High School to ride. There were four courses, with 80 miles being the longest. I wanted to get home at a reasonable hour, so I decided to ride 60 miles, as I did a year ago. The only rider I recognized was my friend Randy, who lives in nearby Granbury. Randy wanted to get home in time to watch the Texas/Oklahoma football game, which started at the insanely early hour of 11:00, so his plan was to ride 45 miles. Judging from the course map, it looked as though we would be together for many miles.

Somewhere on a highway between San Antonio and Corpus Christi last weekend God smote me.

And the thing is I was due a good smiting.

Last Saturday and Sunday I participated in the Valero MS 150 Bike Tour. The Valero MS 150 – also known as the “Bike to the Beach” – is a 150-mile, two-day bicycle ride between the aforementioned San Antonio and Corpus Christi. There were more than 3,000 riders involved.
