Texas  Hill Country 600K
by Mike Wilkerson
Let’s take a trip back to 2009 and the first running of the Texas Hill Country 600km (though not a true 600k at only 360 miles):  John Schlitter of Team Bacchetta won the overall with a time of 20:59 total time while Kent Polk, also of Team Bacchetta, finished fourth overall. They were the sum total of recumbents in attendance.

But that was 2009 and ooohhh how things have changed!

This year’s race had thirteen solo entries with one recumbent rider, Chris Malloy, who sadly ran out of time and DNF’d along with two other soloists. …

#11 Texas A&M Tunis-Roubaix: Race Report « Gene’s Blog
This is a report of the first collegiate cycling race I’ve participated in. Last January, I decided to join the Texas Cycling Team in order to find something to motivate myself as I finish my college career.

The 10th National Bike Summit
from RoadBikeRider.com Newsletter
Issue No. 434
The summit wrapped up with a gala Congressional reception last Thursday in Washington, DC. The highlight of the 3-day gathering was U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood declaring his support for cycling on the federal level. “You have a full partner in Ray LaHood,” he said, and announced “a sea change. People across America who value bicycling should have a voice when it comes to transportation planning. This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized.” More than 725 bicycle advocates, educators, enthusiasts and industry leaders attended the Summit, the top 10 highlights of which are listed by the League of American Bicyclists. LAB termed LaHood’s declaration “simply the strongest statement of support for prioritizing bicycling and walking ever to come from a sitting secretary of transportation.” A 4-minute video titled “Voices from the National Bike Summit” helps explain what took place and what’s gained by participation.

Opening Night at the Driveway Race Series
from Mike’s Bike Blog
With the change in daylight savings welcomes back the Driveway Race Series. I’ve raced at the Driveway 2 times before and had less than spectacular performances. This year I wanted to give it more of a shot and hopefully string a few more appearances than 1 per year.

For this first Driveway of 2010 I signed up for the 4/5 race, I didn’t think I was ready to jump into the 3/4 race. I wanted to get at least…
