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 Ride for Heroes – Aledo, TX

Texbiker.net Posted on February 25, 2009 by Rick AnkrumFebruary 25, 2009

The 7th annual Moritz Ride for Heroes will be March 28th, 2009.  This year we will feature all new routes, including a beautifully scenic 23 mile route. And for the second year in a row we will provide a 100 mile route.

100 mile Moritz Challenge begins at 7:45am
66 mile
route begins at 7:45am
40 mile
route begins at 8:00am
23 mile route begins at 8:00am
8 mile route begins at 8:00am

Many people who ride here for the first time are surprised at the number of hills. EPC is not flat. Bring your climbing legs.
The roads are a combination of smooth state highways and county roads. Unfortunately there is gas drilling in this area which has been tough on our roads. We do try and pick the best roads possible for both safety and comfort however, you will experience some rough areas, pot holes and some short sections of chip seal that cannot be avoided.  Most of the roads are smooth and comfortable to ride on.

Bike Geek: Breaking records and rolling to better health…

by Justin

Our ride took us along quiet country roads with farmland as far as the eye could see. The sound of silence during water breaks was inspiring. It would have been easy to find a fence post to lean the bikes against and sit down to enjoy the silence and that … At the halfway point, in Castroville, TX.

A suggestion for MS150 alternate route

By KEN HOFFMAN Houston Chronicle

If San Antonio-to-Corpus Christi can take my advice, why can’t Houston-to-Austin?
