HARLINGEN \u00e2\u20ac\u201d The city of Harlingen aims to win the It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Time Texas Community Challenge this year and appears to be on the right track.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, the city is in the lead of the competition\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mid-size division with about half a million points.<\/p>\n

This week, Harlingen cyclists will be able to meet other …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

San Angelo Man Indicted for Dragging Bicyclist to His Death <\/a><\/h2>\n

By Matt Tramell | sanangelolive.com<\/h3>\n

SAN ANGELO, TX \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Earlier this month, a San Angelo man was indicted for hitting a man on a bicycle, dragging him a short distance, which killed him.<\/p>\n

San Angelo Police Department received a call on November 21 last year about a hit and run accident, and possibly a death. When they arrived at 1900 block of N. Van Buren, they found Jacob Martinez, 33, dead due to significant …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After a couple of posts about creativity, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m casting about for a topic more about my main theme of bicycling. So, I thought I might talk about my free visit to a registered dietitian today. But I can summarize that in four words: less sugar, more vegetables. OK, so that topic is deadly boring as cold toast. And toast is something I gave up with all the processed grains last year, to no visible effect whatsoever in terms of weight loss, energy (actually it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lower), or ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Next!<\/p>\n

Or there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the cedar fever \u00e2\u20ac\u201d pollen from the mountain juniper trees in the Hill Country beginning in west of Austin. It gives some people …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

It helps to look back and realize how far you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve come. This couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be more true as we look forward and create new goals. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll offer encouragement on the days when you feel like you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t made any progress. Plus, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just fun to revisit good memories.<\/p>\n

I got back in the saddle last February after 6 months of not riding at all. I struggle through the months of August \u00e2\u20ac\u201c January. I think in part it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ugly and cold outside, plus the fall semester as a teacher is nuts. Being inside and …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
