In 2008, the Rotary Club of Cedar Hill will match last year’s rest stops by featuring Panera Bread Restaurant’s baked goods, Albertson’s cookies and bananas, Chick-fil-A sandwiches, therapists from Expressions Chiropractic to work out the kinks, and a fresh hamburger made on the spot by Red Robin Restaurant for all participants. Cedar Hill’s Rotary organized the event to benefit the Food Pantry, Library and other charitable endeavors.

It’s a first of its kind in Texas: a hanging bicycle bridge, planned for a busy stretch of MoPac in Southwest Austin, where cyclists have to fight for room to ride.
The hanging bridge is planned for a section of MoPac, just south of Capital of Texas Highway. Right now cyclists looking to cross the greenbelt there must ride on MoPac, just feet away from traffic. There’s practically no other way around.
A handful of county roads will be partially closed to traffic Sunday, March 9, 2008, as hundreds of cyclists compete in the Jesuit Ranger Roundup, one of several spring cycling events sponsored by Texas High School Cycling League.
The county’s Public Works Department will be setting up barricades and traffic cones for Sunday’s race, which runs east from Celina High School and loops back in a circuit using the following county roads: 134, 105, 132, 135, 177 and 175. (See Map) Signs will also be posted along the race course to remind motorists of the event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m
