So I checked out the Odessa Mountain Bike Park and it’s pretty awesome
by shankr3 | forums.mtbr.com
I’m out here in West TX filling in for a company while they hire extra local help so I figured I’d bring my bike after a quick internet search showed there was an MTB park in Odessa.
It’s only a few miles from the Warehouse I’m working out of and I had time to head over there yesterday afternoon. I had to buy a helmet as it’s required (as well as a 25/year membership to the Permian Basin Bicycle Association) but soon realized that the helmet was necessary due to terrain and will be …

Registration time. The weather was iffy as rain was forecast throughout the day. And it was a little chilly.
Unfortunately for the tour director, a lot of riders failed to show due to the weather forecast. Instead of distance–24, 40, 70 miles–we were lined up by projected speed. So if you were an 18+ mph average …

Day 17 Texas: Deridder – Silsbee, Texas
Tuesday March 14, 2017, 74 miles (119 km) – Total so far: 1,061 miles (1,708 km)
The coldest night so far, just as well the blankets we had were of great use. After the initial shock of departing in temperature, s lower than back home, we ploughed on.
The sun was out today which made for pleasant riding. At 20 miles a layer could be peeled off, a dog outside a store wanted a fuss made of him. A dog being friendly? Never. Yes it’s true.
At Merryfield and 25 miles into the day it had warmed up considerably, into a chicken shack for food, sadly no coffee have to …

Tyler seeks grant to add bike lanes, make it easier for commuter bicyclists to ride safely
by FAITH HARPER | www.tylerpaper.com
If selected, the grant would pay for 80 percent of construction costs, but would not cover any engineering fees or right of way acquisition. Officials estimated the grant would require a $230,000 match, plus another $150,000 in non-eligible costs – for a total of $380,000 of local money needed for the project.
Eng said Tyler has 25 miles of designated bike routes, but only five miles have designated bike lanes.
The city doesn’t have a formal plan for the grant funds yet, but will be developing it through the …
