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 late wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.

My primary bike is the Cervelo Caledonia Rival AXS below. My titanium bike is the Lynskey Helix titanium. My newest bike is a Canyon Endurace CF 7 Rival eTap.

Colin Strickland. Nine laps for the glory

by RAW        www.rawcyclingmag.com

Come from Texas, USA, Colin Strickland left the entire audience speechless with his exhibition during the final of RHC Milano No.6. He managed to distance himself from the leading group and maintain a pace to get the victory of this spectacular race through the streets of Bovisa.
Who’s Colin?
I’m just a hard working guy who has a serious addiction to bikes. I took the traditional path of university, career, house, but all the while I was riding and building bicycles for fun. These days …

MTB Riding in the Woods

Texbiker.net Posted on November 24, 2015 by Rick AnkrumNovember 24, 2015

It’s been 6 days since my last ride. During this lapse the weather has been wet and then cold (for southeast Texas at least). today the clouds came back after the latest cool front passed through and the temperature got up to 68. I rolled out the Motobecane 700HT MTB to ride the Kingwood greenbelt trails. School is out for Thanksgiving and I came across several groups of children on the greenbelt. Before that I stopped to take these pictures of the fall look on the trails.

11-24-2015 Bike Ride-1
11-24-2015 Bike Ride-2
11-24-2015 Bike Ride-3
11-24-2015 Bike Ride-4

The top two photos show the trail in the woods and the bottom two show the North Woodland Hills pool and playground. Needless to say the pool is not open.

I am getting very close to my 6500 mile goal for the year. With today’s 16.92 miles I am up to 6450 miles.

Riding the MTB requires a lot of effort with it weighing 32 pounds. That is almost twice what my road bike weighs. That accounts for the slow average speed of 11.8 mph. I did get up to 12.0 mph for a short time but the slight inclines did me in. This is the 11th time I rode my MTB this year.

The weather looks favorable for biking tomorrow. I may switch back to my road bike.

Here’s an example of how cyclocross develops life skill. Liam Childs crashed hard today during his race. He was not sure if he wanted to continue, mom and dad gave him some encouragement. He got back on his damaged bike, at that point, in last place. He focused and pushed himself to an 8th place. The lesson: …
