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.

Lone Star Bicycle Route

Texbiker.net Posted on March 31, 2009 by Rick AnkrumMarch 31, 2009

Last evening I was looking through a drawer and found a map from 1976 with the detailed route for the Lone Star Bicycle Route. The route stretches from around Sabine on the Louisiana border through the area around Austin up to the panhandle to exit on the Oklahoma state line.

Since the map is over 20 years old I suspect that some of the roads have changed and maybe even disappeared.

I thought it would be a worthwhile project to bring this route up to date using the Bikely.com mapping site. So over the next few weeks I will map sections of the route and post the links as I complete them.

When it is finished it will be interesting to have someone check the roads out and report on the route.

If you have any thoughts or comments please let me know.
