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.

March Monthly Ride Report

Texbiker.net Posted on April 4, 2009 by Rick AnkrumApril 5, 2009

(I corrected some of the statistics because I left off a day.)

March was not an easy month like January and February in regards to meeting or beating my mileage goal. Between the weather (March is lamb or lion according to legend) and out of state commitments, I missed equaling my March average of 347 miles riding 288 310 miles or 59 37 miles. I was hoping to ride at least 381 miles. Other highlights for the month:

  • rode 13 14 days out of 31
  • average mile per ride = 22.15 22.17
  • longest ride = 39.44
  • shortest ride = 17.03
  • M800 mountain bike miles = 34.83
  • Mercier road miles = 253.41 275.66
  • goal for April miles is 505
