I wanted to ride in the Neokyo world and found a way to do it when it isn’t a guest world. Create a meetup, select the world and course, then invite someone who follows you. I did that and selected Wandering Flats. I set a start time of 11:00 AM. After signing into Zwift I saw there was a scheduled meetup, joined the ride and waited for 11:00 AM. I had a problem with my extra keyboard not working. I knocked it off the stand beside my Blue Norcross AL bike and it wouldn’t work. I guess I broke it. I stopped the ride to get the main keyboard and mouse to change cameras and control the livestream through OBS.
This was my first ride on this route. I looked up the information on ZwiftInsider.com.
This the longest and flattest route route in Makuri. I think there were longer routes but very hilly. The hill at 20km contained most of the climbing. I was able to stand up and pedal without my rear wheel slipping thanks to tightening it after the last ride. 476 feet of climbing over 16.2 miles.
Outside the temperature was 57 degrees when i started Zwift. Last night when I created the meetup I thought it might be chilly plus I need some Zwift miles to reach my 800 mile goal for the year. I need 117 more miles. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to warm up so a road ride is planned.
There was plenty of ‘cross racing this weekend, despite the UCI World Cup being cancelled in Antwerp. On Saturday, the next round in the Superprestige in Boom, Belgium. On Saturday and Sunday, the Pan Am Champs took place in Texas.

Oak Cliff Nature Preserve – Texas Land Conservancy, 2875 Pierce St, Dallas, TX
Let’s get some night mountain bike rides going again. We can have 2 groups, a more advanced group that want to shred the trail at a faster pace and we can have a more social pace group. It is a no-drop ride. Bring lights, helmet, water and extra tubes. Everybody is responsible for their bike repairs and safety. We’ll hit up Oak Cliff Nature Preserve this week. Lets meetup at 6:45 and wheels down 7:15. Alex Natareno will be leading this ride. We can have another person helping with the more advanced ride as well.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — As areas like Cedar Park, Leander and Liberty Hill grow more popular for people to move, traffic is increasing along a stretch of US 183.
Specifically, between State Highway 45 North and the MoPac — a route that many take to reach downtown Austin.
The 183 North Project, a new $612 million project in northwest Austin and will reduce travel times and improve mobility for commuters, local drivers, visitors to the region, and people who prefer to use public transit, ride their bike or walk. …
Cars and bicyclists travel east along Cleburne Street next to Texas Southern University on Monday, Dec. 6, 2021, in Houston. City, county and university officials celebrated the completion of the $12 million construction project on Cleburne Street between Ennis and Scott during an event Monday morning.
Not long after she arrived in Houston in June, new Texas Southern University President Lisia Crumpton-Young said campus and elected officials in Third Ward should be “walking the walk and not talking the talk.†Along Cleburne Street, adjacent to the university, meeting that challenge in large part was about making it possible to walk at all.
Officials on Monday cheered completion of the first of a series of street improvements in Third Ward — historically neglected when sidewalk and street money was doled out — aimed at making streets safer, smoother and more able to remain open rather than flooded during Houston’s frequent storms. The work was paid for mostly by …
Please be aware of bicyclists on Longview thoroughfares!
Earlier this week, my wife and I were stopped at the intersection of Fourth Street and Hawkins Parkway. As the driver, I was attempting a right turn on red from Fourth onto Hawkins. I looked right and left prior to making the turn. Both directions were clear of traffic, but as I began the right turn, my wife shouted “Bicycle!†I promptly hit the brake and stopped before hitting a young girl riding across Hawkins against the red light and oncoming traffic.
She was not wearing a helmet! This is not unusual because the helmet will mess up your hair. Please wear a helmet! Many Longview people ride bikes for pleasure, exercise and …

SAN ANTONIO – A man is in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle through an intersection on the Northwest Side, according to San Antonio police.
The crash happened around 1:28 a.m., Saturday, on Bandera Road and Cincinnati Avenue.
Police said the man rode his bike through the intersection and a pickup truck heading eastbound on Bandera hit the man.
The driver did stop to help the bicyclist, and officials said he was taken to University Hospital in critical condition.
Upon further investigation, authorities said the driver will not be charged, as he had a green light when going through the intersection and was not intoxicated.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Many items that are produced or manufactured are in short supply because of global supply chain issues, according to the New York Times. The website all reported that this is mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
College Station’s Reynolds & Reynolds experienced this first hand when trying to buy bikes for its annual Bike Build. The company’s team members have built bikes for children in need for Christmas for nearly a decade.
“You don’t really think about it as an adult, but it’s such a big part of playing outside as a kid,†Diane Besosa, a Bike Build volunteer, said.
Besosa enjoys building the bikes and giving parents one less thing to worry about during the holidays.
“They get to enjoy it Christmas morning without any of the labor involved,†Besosa said.
William Wright, the Bike Build chair, said the company normally builds …

Sims hill was created using excavated dirt from various projects.
Ordinarily the excavated material would be dispersed across several sites. Centrally locating it created an elevated point high enough to see three of Houston’s sky lines.
Dry but humid weather hung around one more day allowing me to ride the Kingwood streets. I needed 10 miles to make a 200 mile week. The bike ride began at 2:14 PM and finished at 3:36 PM. I biked 16.74 miles rolling the week’s total to 207.56 miles. I don’t think I’ve ever rode 200+ miles in week this late in the year. Usually the weather is not friendly and I stay inside. December miles is getting close to my 150 mile goal at 137.8 miles and only 5 days into December. I think I will exceed my goal. Today was the 14th time I biked Kingwood streets in 2021.
Lots of clouds and a light breeze describes the weather with the temperature 79 at the start and dropping to 76 by the finish. This morning fog covered the area as the dew point was near the temperature. I didn’t need any cool weather clothing. I wore shorts, a short sleeve jerseys, and arm sleeves.

Some of the ride followed the greenbelt with leaves making it difficult to see where the edge of the trail turned to grass or dropped off. A few people were putting up Christmas decorations.
