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.

Daily News Roundup April 1st – Texas Bicycling

Cycling – Beware the Rides of March!
by donbynum
OK, yeah I know, I owe Bill Shakespeare an acknowledgement.  Thanks Bill.

After having a 300 mile month in February I set out thinking maybe I could do 400 in March.  Well, OK, I did.  401.11 miles to be exact. The 400 miles is not what made it such a great month.  It was what rides got me there that made the month.

On March 2nd, Gil Jones and I, celebrating Texas Independence Day and our own birthday, were joined by John Chalmers and Don Senzig for a great 83 mile loop starting in Llano, heading out RR2323 to US87 (near Fredricksberg) then north on US87 to RR152 where we turned east and rode to Castell, took a break, and then…

Striders Duathlon oldest Texas run-bike-run event
By Bill Cullins
SAN ANGELO, Texas — A number of people have asked about the upcoming Striders Duathlon, which will take place on April 17. The primary questions were, “How hard is it?” and “What’s the course like?”

Striders is the oldest run-bike-run event in Texas (now in its 18th year). It’s also one of the premier races each year in San Angelo, attracting both local competitors and…

Cat 2 Upgrade!
by Ken
Meow.
After the Fayetteville Stage Race, I counted up my points to find that I had 29 points! I needed 25 to upgrade to 2’s, but didn’t know if I was completely reading.

I was originally concerned that I needed more time in 3’s in order to be prepared for the P/1/2 races. After talking to Chris from Woolly Mammoth (who is a 2), he convinced me that if I upgraded as soon as possible, then I…

No Loose String on This Ride – March 31st Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on March 31, 2011 by Rick AnkrumMarch 31, 2011

No loose string on this ride. With clear skies, 71 degrees and a clam wind this ride went smooth. I wore a long sleeve jersey because the sun was going down and it felt cool even if it was not in the 60’s. The weather was supposed to be like a lion to match the saying. I am looking forward to April and the warmer weather. I plan to get more miles in but time will tell on that.

My Garmin Edge 500 is performing great now that I know how to export the data.

March mileage update:

  • March miles 301.49
  • YTD miles 826.67
  • 3 year average miles for March 337.4
