Sunday Ride through Houston’s Energy Corridor<\/strong><\/a>
\nfrom 331miles
\nHouston is a suboptimal city for cycling. It sprawls and sprawls and sprawls, and the sprawl is not always connected with bike lanes or even roads with a clearly marked shoulder. It does have people that care about cycling, and try to create, grow, and maintain infrastructure for cyclists, but it’s a work in progress. I learned a bit about the work in progress on Sunday when I rode through Houston’s Energy Corridor. …<\/p>\n

\nby Keith
\nLess than two days before we leave for Texas Hell Week and needless to say I am like a 6 year old going to Disneyland. The bike is ready with a new chain, new tires and GPS. The bad part is that is it is still powered by the fat old guy …<\/p>\n

Rise Across Texas Challenge Day 3 \u00c2\u00ab ReOverThinking<\/strong><\/a>
\nby kipmcc
\nOver all, the 85 mile ride felt pretty much like yesterday’s 59 mile ride\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6although I don’t know how many more miles I could have gone after that 85th mile. After a night in Conroe’s Best Western, we’re off to Brenham, Texas which is …<\/p>\n

Day 30: Austin, Texas, to La Grange, Texas \u00c2\u00ab Just Another Bike …<\/strong><\/a>
\nby brendanpleonard
\nWhat a great couple of days in Texas. I got to ride my unencumbered bike all around Austin with my pal Russell. I replaced a bunch of parts that needed fixing after 1500 miles. I got the 1985 Raleigh Team USA worked on by a great guy …<\/p>\n

Hardly Just Another Bike Ride<\/strong><\/a>
\nby Bicycling (blog)
\nBrendan Leonard\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s story is an archetype that Bicycling readers know well: It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the tale of a young man whose life was changed by a bike. But there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a twist to Leonard\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arc as a rider that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a bit unusual\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand worth hearing. Like a number of the Biketown participants\u00c2\u00a0 we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve profiled over the years, Leonard took the strength he discovered in the saddle and turned his bike into a tool for the greater good. He didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just get fit, or crank up his wattage, or learn to tear…<\/p>\n

San Antonio Cycling Club: JUNCTION, TEXAS<\/strong><\/a>
\nby Vern
\nSaturday morning at 10:00 am we left the Super S store in Junction and headed for Roosevelt. Roosevelt is 19.5 miles from Junction. For a first ever week-end ride, I was very pleased with the turnout. We had a nice lunch at the mercantile store in Roosevelt before heading back. The mercantile store was very interesting. They handle…<\/p>\n

\nby rainycamp
\nWhile recovering from my knee problem, I have been cycling vicariously by reading others’ ride reports. But I had to do something biking-related, so I got out today and did a little bike maintenance. The day was overcast and misty, …<\/p>\n

No Way I’m Climbing That!!! \u00c2\u00ab Biggie From Texas<\/strong><\/a>
\nby biggie
\nHoly cow, we’re only a little over a mile into the ride and we’re on this death mountain and people are already pulling over to the side, getting off of their bikes and walking up. WE’RE STILL WITHIN THE FIRST 2 MILES OF THE RIDE PEOPLE …<\/p>\n
