Cycling – Mormon Mill to Burnet and Back (21 riders!)
from donbynum.wordpress.com
Gil Jones got us hooked up with two or three loosely connected groups that often make 26-50 mile rides from Marble Falls, leaving and eventually returning on, Mormon Mill Road (Burnet CR340).
Cycling between Marble Falls and Burnet in Burnet County, TX
A plan came together and we met in a church parking lot on Mormon Mill Rd for a 7am departure on a great Saturday morning.  The temperature at 7am was in the upper 60s (YEA! YIPPIE, maybe summer is relenting a bit!) and there was virtually no wind, so I was not missing any fun sailing. …
Oncor here and there
from Bike Denton by bikedenton
As seen in the newspaper this week, Oncor is making headlines in Denton County over its defeated proposal to cut across the popular Greenbelt trail. You can see the proposed routes here.
The newly formed Greenbelt Alliance pulled together some impressive muscle and turned out en masse at the county hearing to fight Oncor’s route across the Greenbelt. It worked, and Oncor now has to consider other routes instead.
I’m admittedly a little confused how much of this is nearby landowner NIMBY and how much is actual fight to preserve the Greenbelt. Just saying…

by Austin 360 (blog)
Big news from the Texas 4000 for Cancer folks, who just wrapped up their seventh 4,687-mile bicycle ride from Austin to Anchorage in the name of cancer awareness.
The non-profit organization is teaming up with LiveStrong as a title sponsor, starting next year.
It makes sense. Both groups are on a mission to help those affected by cancer, either through funding research and spreading the word about…

September is off to a good start with the weather moderating from the highs of August. According to the SciGuy blog in the Houston Chronicle this August was one of the warmest ones on record. Today’s temperature was 88 degrees during the ride with mostly cloudy skies and a light 4 mph breeze. Riding seemed harder with the wind feeling more than the 4 mph. No riders were seen. The streets were dry.
Today’s ride statistics:

Bicycling in a world built for CARS!: Riding to Dallas and Back!
by Commute-a-sarus
My legs were feeling heavy after Hotter’n Hell this past weekend, so I needed a long slow ride. Carola needed a new bike light and REI had the one she wanted on crazy sale. I called around FTW to see if anyone could beat the price and no one could match it, so off I went on an adventure. I have never ridden on this route further east than Grapevine so I was a little apprehensive…

I am glad I found Colonel’s Bicycle Shop. Getting back in the saddle, after more than a year of not pedaling, went surprisingly well. I was surprised at how solid the bike now feels with its fixed wheel. I quickly realized I put up with …

I believe it was after that that Steve A pointed me to Colonel’s Bicycle Shop on University Drive in the heart of purple TCU territory. It seemed like a long ways to go at the time Steve A mentioned it. But, I wanted a working wheel. …

Recently, a paid Texas bicycle advocate commented that with bike lanes and cycle-tracks (aka, side-paths), Texas would look like Amsterdam in 20 years (in terms of bicycle usage). To do that, the population of Texas would have to …
