While the funding (and construction) of many of the trails in the City of Dallas might be a joint City\/County\/other effort, most of the hike and bike trails are managed by the Dallas Parks and Rec department, so keeping up with…<\/p>\n

\nIt only seems like yesterday, in some ways, since I got off the bike after an exciting sprint to end my 2011 season.\u00c2\u00a0 It has been about 4 months since the Ft Hood State Championships.\u00c2\u00a0 The last 3 months have been spent training for the upcoming road racing season.\u00c2\u00a0 In October, I knew I would have to work hard to make the complete jump to the Big Leagues and be competitive in Texas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 top category: P\/1\/2.<\/p>\n

Like your tires, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to over-inflate your ego, but now new research suggests that, like your water bottles and your belly, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to under-fill it either. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
