\nThe ATX100K is making a stop at City Park in early December and there was a ride at City Park to show those who were unfamiliar with the trail how it flows. With all of the rain that we have experienced, many of the lines have changed, so it was good to get out there and ride

\nBOERNE \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Sore but satisfied, dozens of wounded warriors celebrated the completion of a bike trek Saturday that took them far beyond the 23-mile route they pedaled behind a police escort.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It showed me that, with true determination, I can conquer all,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Anthony Harding, 41, posing for photos upon finishing the second of two Solider Rides in two days that were sponsored by Wounded Warrior Project.<\/p>\n

\nSAN ANTONIO \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Ray McCutcheon’s family told him his idea sounded crazy. Because when a 56-year-old with a bad back and arthritis in his knees, feet and hips tells you he wants to ride a tricycle 1,027 miles across Texas, it sounds crazy.<\/p>\n

But that didn’t stop the Boerne resident from making the ride, which he hopes will raise $100,000 for the American Diabetes Association.<\/p>\n

Followed in an RV by his daughter Katie Holcomb, 30, McCutcheon is about…<\/p>\n

\nI coasted into the pull-out only too glad to hop off my bicycle, if even for a few minutes. I joined two other tourists reading the information panels describing the scene before us.<\/p>\n

The view was stunning. Mesquite, creosote, yucca and prickly pear made up much of the dense vegetation leading up to the steep vertical cliffs a quarter mile away. Apparently, the rocky precipices were home to peregrine falcons during the nesting season, although, on this early November afternoon, the raptors were long gone.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d been on my bicycle for some five hours already and my legs and lower back were protesting. Based on my bike…<\/p>\n
