By Rick Ankrum, on February 3, 2012, 5:30 pm Where do I begin? First I put on sunscreen but needed water repellant. Second I ran into rain around the 3 mile mark but did not turn back.

But one should not despair. By 11 AM the sun arrived and the clouds thinned. The streets needed to dry out but around here that does [...]
By Rick Ankrum, on January 23, 2012, 4:57 pm I did not bike yesterday. It was too dreary and the wind kept blowing at 23+ mph. I was out today though. The wind died down to 6.9 mph from the NE and the clouds thinned out to mostly cloudy to overcast at times. The weather forecast was a little optimistic on the temperature reaching [...]

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.
