By Rick Ankrum, on January 18, 2013, 6:24 pm About 7:30 this morning I walked my niece to school in 39 degree weather. As I walked I wondered if it would warm up enough to go biking today. That walk covered about 2 miles three and back. Later about noon I decided to walk to the post office. Going to the post office and [...]

Because of this when I started today’s ride the 70 degrees felt cooler than that helped by the 8 mph SSE breeze. At first I was going to wear a long sleeve jersey [...]
By Rick Ankrum, on January 10, 2013, 4:11 pm I finally got to ride today for the first time this year. Between sickness, cold weather and rain I did not get to ride.

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 wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.
In 1999 Texbiker.net was born to help my fellow bikers have ready access to all of the information about the Texas bicycling scene.
