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.

Riding Around Watopia Proper: Zwift Watopia’s Waistband. Rode Every Day This Week

Texbiker.net Posted on February 18, 2024 by Rick AnkrumFebruary 18, 2024

Riding around Watopia proper including downtown Watopia, Fuego Flats, the Italian Villas, the Volcano, and the Fishing Village. Lead-in is 1.5 miles and 19 feet elevation gain. Full route is 17.3 miles and 331 feet climbing. Last time I rode this route was January 8th, 2024. This was my 13th ride on the Watopia’s Waistband course since I started Zwifting. Today I rode faster than the last 3 times though there aren’t many sprints on the route. Not a big crowd riding Zwift today. I wasn’t alone on this route with people passing and standing at various start locations.

For the week of February 12 – 19 I was a bike every day for a total of 168.12 miles. Two rides on the road and five rides in Zwift. For the month road miles total 325 with a goal of 445. This week was the third highest mileage so far this year trailing two 200+ weeks.

MTB Progress and Fails, Mountain Bike Black Diamonds and Snails, Even Met Jesus on the Trails!

Just Ne MTB | www.youtube.com

A bit of a longer video I know, but good progress and first times today at Brushy, with fast ambient Picnic runs and drops, some Snail #3 #5 #6, and finally the Rim Loop which always seemed daunting to me- done. Unfortunately Dave didn’t quite make the elevated skinny on #6 Snail, kudos for getting back up on the bike fer sure and finishing the day out! Still timid about the drop by the railroad bridge even with the help of Jesus…

Redo Tour de Zwift Stage 8. Watopia Big Flat 8 Course

Texbiker.net Posted on February 17, 2024 by Rick AnkrumFebruary 17, 2024

Riding Stage 8 for the second time because the Watopia Big Flat 8 route is an event only course. 19.6 miles and 357 feet elevation gain. I rode this previously on February 10th. Today’s ride improved on my results from February 10th: better average speed at 17.3 mph and quicker at 1:08:30. I rode the course 4 times overall but the first two were shorter distances for some reason. Strava results:

  • 2nd fastest time on Big Flat 8 Banner to Banner (1:03:09)
  • 3rd fastest time on Dirty Sorpresa Climb (Zwift Insider verified) (2:04)
  • PR Big Flat 8 From Pens (1:07:35) improved from February 10th (1:10:05)
