Both have landed top 10 in almost every race and finished 5th and 2nd respectively a couple of weeks ago at the Iris Stagner Mineral Wells Stage Race. Impressive results for these two guys. I was waiting to post until…

\n I posted a message on the club\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Yahoo group last night that, given our terrific forecast for the day, it was time for the B riders to start showing up for club rides.

\n About two years ago, our club president told me a new rider had come out for a ride I had missed. He said she made a noble effort to keep up…

\n Sunday March 2, 2014, 68 km (42 miles) – Total so far: 3,308 km (2,055 miles)
\n At dawn it was pleasantly mild, so there was no reluctance involved in getting out of the sleeping bag.We took the tent down and packed it away nice and dry, and sat down to cook some oatmeal and answer some Guestbook messages. That’s when a few fine sprinkles of rain began. It sent us into the bath house to carry on, but when we were ready to leave on the bikes we still did not have on any rain gear. …
