\nToo Cool Adventure Racing serves up outdoor fun at Howl at the Moon race
\nI hear it first, like a maraca, an instant before the beam of my headlamp catches a rope-like shape slithering across the trail where I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m running at Colorado Bend State Park.
\nI hop like someone is taking potshots at my feet; my racing partner Ron Perry stops to get a closer look.

Daniel Day | bikesanantonio.blogspot.com<\/h3>\n

As I was watching the recent League of Women Voters of the San Antonio Area forum called, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Transportation Needs of San Antonio: How are we preparing for the future?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, I was expecting the usual talking point that rail will save the day, and I got that. But I was surprised to see that Ana Sandoval, council woman for district 7, point out the problem, how we punish people for not having a car are paid less and many job ads demanding that you have “reliable transportation.” …

For those that don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to drive to downtown Dallas for a 20 mile ride (Dallas Bike Ride) can ride down there with us, meet Alex at The Gingerman and then ride back after the party. Leaving from Independence and 15th should give us approx. 40 miles there and back. You even get to sleep in as we won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t start until 9am!
\nThe pace will be B-Square-ish, but we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not in any hurry. In other words, we won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t drop anyone especially after filling up on whatever the menu offers.
\nWhy: Celebrate Alex Dulaney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s journey back to cycling
\nWhen: Saturday, November 4th at 9am
\nWhere: N\/W corner of Independence and 15th in Plano
\nDistance: 20 out; 20 back, approx. 40 total
\nPace: 14-15mph
\nHere is the route we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be taking. The highlight is riding on the actual Katy Trail demonstrating its not just the name of a Plano restaurant\/ bar …<\/p>\n
