Greater Dallas Bicyclists Spread the Christmas Cheer

Our local club http://www.gdbclub.com/ has been having a Santa ride for about 20 years from what I have been told, this year we met in North Dallas to ride to Highland Park and meet up with Santa and the van of gifts and more riders. We rode with Santa to a Family Shelter in Downtown and sang carols and donated the gifts and money our club had rounded up. This made me feel very lucky indeed.

Family on Bikes: A Night in the Inn (Del Rio, Texas, USA)

Texbiker.net Posted on by

The Vogel family left June 8, 2008 for a 2 1/2 year bicycle trip traversing the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina.

From their blog on December 24th:

“It was Christmas Eve. Four weary travelers rolled into Del Rio looking for a room at the inn – or the Ramada Inn, as the case may be.
The Ramada here in Del Rio has generously offered to sponsor our journey with two nights in the Inn, so we are now basking in the luxuriousness around us – and treasuring every moment!
Today was one of those days when we would normally be thrilled to be on the road. Temps got up into the 70’s, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was crystal clear… In short – absolutely perfect!”
