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.

I was not expecting to ride today but… – February 5th Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on February 5, 2011 by Rick AnkrumFebruary 5, 2011

I was not expecting to ride today but the 30 degree temperature increase and clear blue skies called for a ride. After the ice yesterday and the weather forecast for today I did not think a ride was in the works. The ice melted quickly this morning and the sun came out. By 2:00 the temperature was 60.3 degrees on my weather station so the mountain bike came out and I hit the trails and streets in Kingwood. I decided to ride on some trails that I have not been on for sometime. Some of the route had to be altered due to street construction but I still managed to cover some forgotten trails. The trails are usually heavily wooded but in the winter the leaves are thinner so you can see more from the trails than in the summer. Several joggers, dog walkers and other riders were out on the trails as well. While the elevation changes are not big cranking the Motobcane 700HT MTB up some of the inclines requires extra effort. The road bike is much lighter. I could get to ride tomorrow if the weather holds to the forecast of 65 degrees and partly cloudy. The weather this winter is putting a severe crimp in my mileage though.

  • February miles: 25.23
  • YTD miles 243.22

January miles in 2009 were 294.27 and 2010 was 208.47. February 2009 was 348.95 and 2010 was 278.09. January’s average is 251 and I road 217 this year. February’s average is 313 and I will be surprised if I can get that number. Today’s ride data:

Snow snaps

Snow Snap
The powder made the roads easier to bike today, especially with 2.5? wide knobby tires at 15psi.  The most treacherous part was avoiding cars spinning out of control.
McKenna park was a blast today, full of sledders and this snowboarder jumping a trash can.

TO: All Previous Riders Of The PUDDLE FOR THE DUCKS
As you have undoubtedly experienced this morning (2/4/11) and seen on the weather, tomorrow is expected to be almost as bad as this morning. With your safety in consideration as a rider, we have decided that the 2011 PUDDLE FOR THE DUCKS will have to be postponed due to projected icy conditions for tomorrow morning.
As of right now, we are looking for a date that is mutually acceptable to you, as a rider, as well as all of our of our sponsors to hold the ride. Dates under consideration are Sunday, February 27 and March 20, 2011. Neither of these dates is not set yet in concrete and may, because of other rides, be a different date, but please put the tentative dates on your calendar. We will continue to need your help to make the 2011 PUDDLE FOR THE DUCKS as great a ride as it has in the past.
