You’ve heard it before, “bikes are good for business and people.†Why would this be the case? After all, this is Houston and we drive everywhere. The truth is while we love our cars, we don’t like taking 40 minutes to an hour sitting in traffic to travel to a destination less than 7 miles away. Even though woofing down that double cheeseburger, fries, and shake as we drive is a primal distraction it isn’t good practice for your digestion or the unsightly ketchup stain on your shirt.

The 2020 Bent Wheel Bash in Abilene, Texas on February 29-March 1 for the 2nd race in the TMBRA spring championship series exceeded expectations. The weather in Abiline this year was great for the entire event and temperatures reached into the high 70s during the later races. The course conditions were loose the first 4 miles and particularly the start and finish areas. Although fast and flowy the course claimed lots of victims this year. Just an inch off the singletrack could leave racers, tires and spectators full of cactus spines. Flat tires and crashes were plentiful causing several DNFs across the teams.
