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.

The next two days are rest days from the TdF on TV for me since I do not watch until the evening. I have been watching each stage on a delayed basis thanks to my DVR recording of the live broadcast. On the Versus forums some people are complaining about the number of commercials. I think they are forgetting how the coverage gets on TV. The DVR has a 1 minute skip button so commercials breeze by quickly.
