PALO PINTO – Each year, for the past eight or more years, Team Bicycles Inc. has hosted a spring bike race. This year, race organizers have asked to include an added attraction, which is expected to bring more cyclists to a “bigger and better” event.</p>
<p>Team Bicycles Inc. spokesperson Andy Hollinger presented to commissioners Monday, hoping to get the court and sheriff’s blessing to allow “rolling enclosures” – a type of traffic control used to run a road race – at the April 17-18 bicycle stage race&#8230;</p>

In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, I&#8217;ve been checking out the race scene in Texas. This time it was the 85 mile Excruciation Exam mountain bike race on January 2. Only it wasn&#8217;t really 85 miles of mountain biking. It started at Bluff Creek Ranch in Warda, TX with a LeMans run start and an 8 mile lap on the trails. Then we rode our bikes 30 miles on back roads to Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville, TX. After a 21 mile lap there, we were to return using different roads and&#8230;</p>
