By Rick Ankrum, on May 7, 2012, 5:25 pm My early start fell by the wayside today because I went to church to solve a problem with the library computers. My efforts failed and time passed quickly. After getting back home and eating lunch I got started on the ride at 1:17 PM. My route went near the church again and while riding I [...]
By Rick Ankrum, on May 5, 2012, 5:19 pm I delayed the start of today’s ride because I wanted to be sure my DVR recorded the Giro d’Italia stage 1. In years past my options to watch this race disappeared. Last year our local channel 39.3 carried Universal Sports Network but they dropped it earlier this year. So this morning I searched Dish Network [...]
By Rick Ankrum, on May 4, 2012, 6:21 pm I wanted to get started early today but I did not get out of the driveway until 10:14. The timing turned out to be good.

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.
