Just a quick note that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m approaching 1000 miles on my new bike, a 2015 Specialized Roubaix SL4 Di. Aside from flats it has been a good ride. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be finishing up a posting with updated information once I hit 1k miles this weekend, if all goes well. knowing me it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll probably take another two weeks to do the actual write up.<\/p>\n

\nThousands of bikers are coming to Wichita Falls for the annual Hotter N’ Hell Hundred. The event brings in not only thousands of people, but millions of dollars into the Wichita Falls economy.
\nOne of the biggest benefactors of the bike race is the various sporting goods stores across town. Bike Stop is a bike specific store that said the HHH helps bring in nearly two to three times more in profits than what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s made during …<\/p>\n

Flat Creek Public Ride – Sat, Sep 5 – and call for volunteers!<\/a><\/h2>\n

Developments are afoot at the Ranch. A handful of interested parties have been working with Child Inc to develop ways to help Flat Creek Ranch fund its own maintenance and operations.

With this post I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m about a week late, because first of all I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t finish it in time before leaving for Port Isabel, and then because our motel, the La Quinta on South Padre Island had an awfully slow WiFi \u00e2\u20ac\u201c you could almost see every single byte squeezing itself through \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and there Ethernet (cable) didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work at all. So I decided not to post anything from there. Which makes for a lot of catching-up I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to do in the next few days. …
