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.

from www.mywesttexas.com
It was an amazing heartiness devoid of tedium yet whacked, but not defeated, by the weekend ride in the summer heat, challenged by the rising landscape, a hill that never seemed to end horizon after horizon.

Law of 3’s
from Mike’s Bike Blog

First thing in the morning Jack and I got out for an hour of pace line work and descending drills. After that I was going to ride for another hour. I headed out on Limecreek Road towards Volente Beach. 2 Miles into it I hear a loud pop and the hiss of the air being released from my back tire. Upon inspection my tire had a severe blowout. I booted the tire with a dollar bill and changed the flat and rode home. That evening at the boys’ soccer practice…

from Google Alerts – Texas bicycle by Marshalltown Times Republican
“My life is never going to be the same -it’s a summer of a lifetime,” said cross-country cyclist Rudy Granaghan of Fort Worth, Texas Monday at Riverview Park’s Community Building.

Granaghan was sincere. He did not need to embellish.

Certainly not after cycling slightly more than 2,000 miles to date. In Colorado’s mountains there was finger-numbing cold and in Nebraska summer heat.

The Texas Christian University student was talking about his experiences…
