\nThis is an APB from BVMBA. There are some new trails, ramps, berms short cuts being made\/cut on the East Loop. BVMBA needs your help in locating these rouge trail cutters. Only BVMBA is authorized to work on the trails by BTU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c no one else. We are required to submit plans to BTU for any new work we do on the trails and BTU has to approve this work before we start. The new trail that is being cut is located on the side of the levee. This is strictly prohibited by BTU. If this continues, WE WILL LOOSE OUR ACCESS TO THE TRAILS! No…<\/p>\n

\nIf you do any amount of urban bike riding, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve felt the pain of Bike Snob NYC.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a car-door flinging, cell phone-distracted world out there, where fellow cyclists high on their morning Wheaties want to race you to the next stoplight and pedestrians sometimes look more like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153eerily floating coffee cups with big clumps of organic matter attached\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (his words, not mine.)<\/p>\n

\nSpring league participation up despite wet weather<\/strong>
\nIt’s the end of March, and the 2012 National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) racing program is going on in four leagues across the USA: NorCal, SoCal, Texas and Washington. It’s mountain biking, which means that weather sometimes dictates the play. But they’re mountain bikers so they are dealing with it. Here are the March stories from each league.<\/p>\n

Texas<\/strong>
\nIf the darkest hour comes before the dawn, for Vance McMurry, the founding chair of the Texas High School Mountain Bike League, the sun is now up. In early March, the first-ever high school mountain bike team race in Texas had to be postponed after double the March monthly average precipitation fell in…<\/p>\n

\nThe longer we are in this great state, the more we are loving it!\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve been lucky enough to have a string of nearly perfect weather days, which certainly helps, and as we’ve traveled from Brenham to Austin to San Antonio where we’ve been this weekend we’ve ridden through some really beautiful country.\u00c2\u00a0 Rolling hills, open country, and lots of quiet (well-paved!) roads.\u00c2\u00a0 With more daylight we can take our time even on longer-mileage days.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve really been taking it all in and enjoying the…<\/p>\n

\nA German Expat’s Life in Texas
\nLast weekend, more precisely, from Friday until the day before yesterday [Monday] we were in Fredericksburg, Texas Hill Country , on the occasion of the 5th Annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour . And that here is what it looks like when 4 people want to travel, including bicycles for a long weekend: pretty much stuff to take with you.

\nUsually when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only the two of us, Mary and me, who travel we have the bicycles inside the car, but with four people that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not possible of course.<\/p>\n

For the weekend itself we stayed, as we did last year, at Green\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Guest House . This is a beautiful and large bungalow in the middle of Fredericksburg, but in a very quiet residential area, with plenty of space for 6 people in three bedrooms, with a large living-room, a kitchen with adjoining dining-room and two…<\/p>\n
