Sailing – The answer to the question, “Why the heck did I make a 50+ mile bike ride Thursday?â€
Posted on October 13, 2010 by donbynum
Many who view this post will already be aware that last Thursday, Oct 7, 2010, I made a 51.7 mile ride on my Catrike. …
Tonight was my first opportunity to ride my new Motobecane Le Champion CF bike. UPS delivered it last evening and I put it together when I got home from work. The ride around the block was as far as I could go before dark. It looks like everything is working as it should. The real test will be Saturday when I go for a longer ride. I am looking forward to it.
After the test ride I took the Raleigh M800 for a ride on the streets and trails around Kingwood. The weather has returned to last week’s pattern with 78 degrees, scattered clouds and a light 7 mph NNW breeze. A front is supposed to be coming through this weekend but in the meantime we will have nice weather. Nothing unusual with the ride except I did not encounter any joggers without lights.

# There is no charge to ride this ride, which takes place on public roads. Just as we don’t encourage others to ride, we don’t restrict anyone from riding. Beware of inexperienced riders!
# Riders and their supporters participate at their own risk.
# The “permalink†to the most current information that we have is “http://puny.it/tdhâ€, which points to this page.
# We recommend that you be familiar with all traffic laws and we urge you to obey them for your safety and the safety of others.
# When: Saturday, November 13, 2010, starting at 7:00 AM CST.
(Some will ride a week earlier, on Saturday, November 6, starting at 8:00 AM CDT.)
# Where: Under the MoPac bridge in Zilker Park. (map).
# As a friendly (and generous) gesture to riders, Nelo’s Cycles (www.neloscycles.com) has committed to be the primary supporter of the riders who ride the prescribed route on November 13, when there will be SAG, rest stops and refreshments.
# Discussions among riders are at the Yahoo! Group: TourDasHugel.
# The route will be similar to what it has been in prior years, but there will be some route changes for those who wish to take advantage of the SAG and rest stops that will be provided. (Details to follow.)
# Although there will be support, you would be wise to be prepared to provide your own support. (At the very least, you probably won’t feel very welcome if you aren’t prepared to change your own flat — or two.)
# A number of riders will be riding on Saturday, November 6, starting at 8:00 AM CDT at the same location, but possibly along their own individual routes. We know of no organized support for riders on that date.
