\nI knew I had better run around and take as many pictures of San Angelo riders as I could, because just as soon as the ride started, I knew I wouldn’t see them again until the finish line. …
\n…Start time. Two hundred twenty five of us lined up for various distances. Those who chose to enter the race were to go 48 miles. Some of us who just were there for a good time rode the 32 miles. They had a twelve miler for beginners and families.? …<\/p>\n

Dallas across the Trinity<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nfrom Bike Forums by tcs
\nSo they built the ?signature? Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge with no pedestrian or cycle utilization features or access. You?d think they could throw down some sharrows and a couple of ?May Use Full Lane? signs on the crumbing Continental Viaduct that runs along beside the MHH.<\/p>\n

The current approved design for the planned Margaret McDermott Bridge (I30) calls for a pretty standard TxDOT simple beam bridge flanked and disguised with Calatrava arches carrying the pedestrian and cycle lanes. As a stand alone component, this might be the most expensive cycle bridge in the USA, which would be kinda cool except (as I understand the public discussion, drawings and models) this is a recreational facility rather than an all-weather transportation bridge for cyclists. The cycle\/pedestrian portion will only run from the…<\/p>\n

\nDEWITT \u00e2\u20ac\u201d DeWitt resident Janna Rowan, 40, will combine two of her favorite activities next September when she sets out on a 1,200-mile road trip to Fort Worth, Texas: bicycling and assisting people in the deaf-blind community.<\/p>\n

The journey will take place on Rowan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s trusty Giant 24-speed, unless she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fortunate enough to snag donations for a new light weight carbon fiber bike.<\/p>\n

Money pledged during the trip will go to Self Help for Independence in Michigan Equalizing the DeafBlind (SHI-M=DB), an organization…<\/p>\n

\n3-2-1-Go!\u00c2\u00a0 Hill starts the Time Trial.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have very high expectations for this 3-stage omnium. Because of spring break and a business trip, I went into this race weekend over-rested.\u00c2\u00a0 For the power geeks, my TSB (Training Stress\u00c2\u00a0 Balance) had gone from -28 to +20 in 14 days.\u00c2\u00a0 Hill and I drove up to Waco on Friday night, but took advantage of his local connections to have his daughter pick up our race packets, and his mom to give us a place to stay and have breakfast ready.\u00c2\u00a0 What a treat!<\/p>\n

Hill did the 35+ and I opted for the 50+, which raced together with the 40+ guys. The theme of the weekend was short, fast and intense. The TT was just under 3 miles, with…<\/p>\n

\nHappy Monday!
\nToday I want to let everyone know about the 25 Miles Of Erwin Park event we are doing on April 20th.<\/p>\n

Yes, I already disclosed the 50 Miles of Erwin Park on May 25th, and this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t anything up to that caliber.

Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the details you need to know.
\n25 Miles of Erwin Park
\nWhat: Challenge yourself to ride 25 Miles at Erwin Park
