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.

Houston Area Special Olympics Cyling Competition

Texbiker.net Posted on May 17, 2009 by Rick AnkrumMay 16, 2009

I spent most of Saturday at Memorial Park on South Picnic Lane rooting and watching the many Special Olympic cyclists compete in a number of events. My niece Rosie Glass was in two events and won a gold and bronze medal.

Watching these people compete was a joy as each seemed to enjoy the action no matter what their level of activity.

This link shows a number of pictures from the competition.
