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.

Texbiker.net Posted on March 25, 2024 by Rick AnkrumMarch 25, 2024

Rock-N-Ride brings dozens of cyclists to Cleveland

bluebonnetnews.com

Approximately 140 cyclists converged in Cleveland on Saturday, March 16, peddling their way through the early morning scenic routes of Liberty County at the Sixth Annual Rock-N-Ride, hosted by the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce.

This event serves to not only attract cycling enthusiasts from across the region, but to put Cleveland in the spotlight and serve as a fundraiser for the Chamber.

Participants had the choice of a 56-mile or a shorter 26-mile route, going through the beautiful Sam Houston National Forest. Safety precautions, such as signage and police escorts, make this a very beginner-friendly cycling event. …

2024 Enchanted at Erwin Recap

texasmtb.org

A race weekend of community and being nimble

The Enchanted at Erwin race weekend started with a thousand questions weeks before the race. Can these trails be ready in time? The North Texas teams (North Texas Composite, South Metro, Highland Park Scots) rallied together to put in over 1,000 volunteer hours to work on the trails. It was incredible showcase of community and determination!

The rains came in Thursday night before race weekend and all of that hard work was about to be put to the test. On Friday morning, league staff and volunteers walked the course and evaluated conditions. It wasn’t awful, but it certainly wasn’t great. Camping arrangements were shifted and locals leaned in for setting up contingency plans left and right. The entire 4.5 mile course was marked ON FOOT. …

Blog: Tim & Fred Southern Tier 2024

By Tim D. | www.crazyguyonabike.com

Cross-country bike trip from Feb 24 to ??

#1: Southern Tier – Day 29 By Tim D. (Timdow) on Sun 24 Mar 2024 16:44 (US/Pacific) Reply Rating: (0) Today was a very windy ride in Texas Hill Country. We will soon be in Austin, and on to less hills and more miles per day.

We were passed by a group of 8 cyclists that are also going to St. Augustine, Florida. They were carrying no gear, and are therefore on a “supported” tour (van to carry their gear, and staying mostly on motels). A very strong 70 year old rider in their group we saw several times because he was backtracking to put in more miles! He said the others were “too slow.”

A Very Windy Bike Ride – Kingwood – San Jacinto Bayou Greenway – Oakhurst

Texbiker.net Posted on March 24, 2024 by Rick AnkrumMarch 24, 2024

Boy was it windy for today’s bike ride. The wind was from the SSE at 24 mph with 34 mph gusts. Extra pedaling effort every time I headed into the wind. I started at 1:47 PM with an overcast sky and with the wind it felt chilly at 69 degrees. Since it was Sunday and a late start I rode my Lynskey Helix bike on the Kingwood – San Jacinto Bayou Greenway – Oakhurst route. This is a relative new route this being the third time to ride it.

3-24-2024 SportTracks Ride History Kingwood-San Jacinto Bayou Grnwy-Oakhurst
3-24-2024 SportTracks Ride History Kingwood-San Jacinto Bayou Grnwy-Oakhurst

Maybe with some help from the wind I got this Strava 3rd fastest time on Super Secret 4×4 Shortcut (1:03) riding west on the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway from Woodland Hills Drive to Hamblen Road. Biking south on the US59 frontage road from Auburn Trails to Northpark Drive required determination because of the headwind. the gusts blew me around in other places whenever it had the chance.

Weather: Start 69 degrees, humidity 75%, dew point 60.7, overcast, wind SE 16 mph; Finish 70 degrees, humidity 75%, dew point 61.6, overcast, wind SSE 22 mph gusts 34 mph.

The week bike rides concluded today with 217 miles. Five road rides and two Zwift rides.

Preparing for Burleson, TX 67 Mile Bike Ride

Alberto Guerrero | www.youtube.com

Preparing for this 67-mile Bike Ride to be held on May 25, 2024, in Burleson, Texas, which is inching closer and closer, and it is becoming a stark reality of just how difficult it is going to be to complete the 67 miles. As an untrained and novice rider, I am learning a lot about myself, nutrition, and my body’s abilities. I also have a whole new perspective for the sport of cycling because I am learning that it is not just about the physical capabilities of the athlete but it is an art form in itself regarding body positioning, bike fit, and the science in knowing how to keep the body properly fueled throughout a ride to maintain endurance and constant pedaling.
