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.

January weather is in full bloom – January 6th & 7th Bike Rides

Texbiker.net Posted on January 7, 2011 by Rick AnkrumJanuary 7, 2011

January weather is in full bloom here. Between website hosting issues (I will write a separate post about this) and cold wet weather my enjoyable 2011 bike riding has been affected. I did manage to ride yesterday for the second ride of 2011 and tonight for the third ride. Next week does not look promising with a cold snap starting Sunday and running for several days. My thoughts of summer in Australia are returning. I plan on riding tomorrow if the rain holds off until the forecast of  afternoon.

So far I have a total of 40.77 miles for January. The ride data for January 6th and 7th are below.
