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 Blog and News Roundup for November 3rd

Texbiker.net Posted on November 3, 2009 by Rick AnkrumNovember 3, 2009

Tonight was my first evening ride since DST ended. Last night I was suffering from the “Post DST Blues” and skipped riding. I was determined to ride tonight and didn’t even bother to check the temperature which could have canceled the ride if the temperature is below 60 degrees. My trusty Raleigh M800 (1997 model) was fitted with two bright flashing LED taillights and my home brew front light with a strong blast of brightness out in front. Never mind that the battery for the front light weighs over 3#. I just think of the extra weight as a training bonus. Riding on trails and side streets I managed 13+ miles. My November goal is 229. I plan on riding Wednesday and Thursday in the dark with a daylight ride on Saturday and Sunday.

Must have intermediate to advanced cycling skills and be able to maintain a minimum of 15 mph for 25 miles.” …

The Brother Challenge
by VeloNation
It’s about eight-miles from the top of the big hill on FM 306 to the finish line of the Tour de Gruene two-man time trial. The road is rough chip seal with a tiny shoulder, and totally exposed. The grade seems to go up, constantly. The wind comes from all sides.

“You know once you get on 306 if you’re having a good day, or not,” my friend Pat McCarty, a former Tour de Gruene champion, told me. …

SFA, city blazing new trails
by Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel – Nacogdoches,TX,USA
The woods around the campus will soon be full of nuts. Health nuts, that is.
The SFA board of regents recently approved the creation of hiking and biking trails on the northeast corner of University Drive and Starr Avenue. Throughout the 67-acre wooded area a 1.25-mile multi-use trail has been paved, and approximately four miles of single-track mountain bike trails will be available for public use beginning in spring of 2010.
