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.

Texas Bicycling News and Events December 10th

Texbiker.net Posted on December 10, 2010 by Rick AnkrumDecember 10, 2010

Austin Ridge Riders Club Ride / Trail Maintenance and Campout
Rocky Hill Ranch 9:00 a.m.
Mark your calendars for December 11th & 12th as Rocky Hill Ranch and the Austin Ridge Riders are planning a weekend of fun, and an opportunity to share our love for the trail.  There won’t be any snow or sleigh rides but there will be happy groups of mountain bikers swishing along the sweet singletrack under the Loblolly pines. And while we won’t be roasting chestnuts over an open fire, you can warm yourself up with some hot chili and cornbread. …

Weatherford West Ride and Tour
Date:  Saturday, December 18, 2010 9:00 am
Type of Ride: Club Event – Fort Worth Bicycling Association
Location:    Weatherford, TX
Sponsor:     Jerry Franks
The distance options are 42 or 65. The 42 mile route goes to Clark Gardens and the 65 mile route reaches the recreated 1850’s village in Palo Pinto and may offer Clark Gardens as well. Clark Gardens cost $7.00 and I’m told is beautiful in December. The “Old Jail Museum” folks will open the village in Palo Pinto just for us, so I recommend we all make a small donation. If you don’t have time or desire to tour, you’re welcome to ride only. Meet at the TXDOT parking lot at 1423 W. Bankhead in Weatherford. Take I-20 to Weatherford Exit 406 then turn right/north on S. Bowie to Highway 180. Then left to first light and left to TXDOT on the right.

STCC SuperBowl Sunday Ride to the Ride IV
from Shawnee Trail Cycling Club by sooner1
February 6th, 2011  GDB 26th Annual Super Bowl Sunday Ride
Here it comes again, and this year its extra special as the Super Bowl is being held right here in the metroplex.  We haven’t even gotten to the playoffs yet and, yes, we’re already planning for this fun day out.  One thing this ride will not do – is disappoint you.  The ride starts at the same location and ride leaders you’ve come to know  – and as always, twice the fun.  Last year was a cold and…

What is your Poor Man’s Endurance Ride/Race?
from DORBA – Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association by asbury
Great to have an endurance forum on the DORBA site.  I’m always looking for new routes to link trails together.  One of my favorite routes is to start at OCNP, and ride to Boulder, Big Cedar, then Cedar Hill, then back to OCNP.  It has the highest singletrack to road percentage I have found thus far.  Northshore up to Isle du Bois is…
