\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Texas is taking another step forward in providing safe, long-distance travel options for bicyclists and pedestrians after TxDOT received $25 million in federal funds to expand two trail corridors in northeast Texas and El Paso. Both trails are components of the state’s envisioned Bicycle Tourism Trails network.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

TMBRA is proud to be part of one of the oldest MTB races in the country. The track at Lincoln Parish Park was once raced on by the legends of our sport. I believe it\u2019s the second oldest consecutively run MTB race in the country ( Road Apple Rally in New Mexico is first) This NORBA Nationals course has see the likes of Johnny T, Tinker and Nasty Ned toe the line. Don\u2019t be fooled though, this is not a 90\u2019s course. Over the years, it\u2019s turned into a super flowy trail system with climbs, twists and jumps. There are lots of special activities scheduled to celebrate 30 years at this classic venue. We hope to see you there! http:\/\/pineyhillsclassic.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The ride is to remember first responders, police officers, firefighters and paramedics who lost their lives in 2021.<\/p>\n

"This year’s ride started in Texarkana on Sunday," explained Rob Hyatt with the group. "We will finish in Houston on Friday. It\u2019s roughly six days and 500 miles." …<\/p>\n
