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.

The winds were tricky on FM1960 – April 18th

Texbiker.net Posted on April 18, 2011 by Rick AnkrumApril 18, 2011

The winds were tricky on FM1960 over Lake Houston. When I was headed east I could look down on Lake Houston and the waves were about 1 or 2 feet tall. Whenever a vehicle passed on my left I could feel the relief but as soon as they moved past a gust would come from the right. Going the opposite direction across the lake also was tricky again as vehicles would pass on my left and block the wind and then move out of the way. There were times when I was leaning left into the wind. I could tell when I was riding the portion of the causeway that is open underneath which increased the wind flow. The north side of the causeway shielded the lake and the water was very calm, almost glass like.

Partly cloudy skies and a temperature around 80 degrees was pleasant during the ride. I had some extra daylight from last week as the sunset has been coming later. I was again able to ride over 23 miles. My legs need a little more time to recover from the weekend miles.

April mileage update:

  • April miles 394.94
  • YTD miles 1221.61
