\nI searched but didn’t see a thread specific to this (if I just didn’t have the right keywords, moderators please feel free to attach to correct thread). With the given rain Houston’s gotten the month of July I was wondering if anyone’s been able to ride the off-road side of THP? We’ve been switching to road bikes and been riding the other side of the bayou the last 3 weeks, but from that vantage point the dirt trails don’t look too bad. Anyone have any updates? Thanks! …<\/p>\n

\nUSA Cycling \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Colorado Springs, Colo. (July 28, 2012) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Saturday marked the final day of individual competitions at the 2012 USA Cycling Masters Track National Championships, and true to form, records were broken as 18 national titles were awarded.<\/p>\n

…The morning session also saw two more record-setting performances. Gea Johnson (Scottsdale, Ariz.\/Team Green Choice\/Team RPM\/Airpark Bikes) set her second record in as many days, this time unofficially breaking a world and American mark in the 45+ 500-meter time trial by posting a 37.398. Setting an unofficial world record in the 40+ 200 meters was Andrew Weathers (Houston, Texas\/Momentum Coaching Group p\/b Atomic) with a time of 10.719. …<\/p>\n

…What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a day at the velodrome without Annette Williams (Kenmore, Wash.\/Slalom Consulting Racing) winning a race? We didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find out today after Williams surged to victory on the final lap in the women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 50-54 five-kilometer scratch race. Mary Nunnelly (Houston, Texas\/Bike Barn (Texas)) sprinted to second and…<\/p>\n

\nWhile witnessing a loved one’s battle against cancer, have you ever powerless and wished that there were more you could do? There’s an inspiring alternative sitting idly by: Put that anxious energy to good use and get physical in the name of obliterating breast cancer with the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride this fall.<\/p>\n

In its fourth year, the Mamma Jamma Ride has established itself as the most successful breast cancer ride in the country, as well as an inclusive event for all levels of riders.<\/p>\n

In fact, there are five different routes from which to choose, ranging from an easy 13 mile jaunt that the…<\/p>\n
