The box encourages folks in the area to take a flyer with a designated space to jot down their thoughts and prayer requests (anonymously if they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wish to include their names), and drop them in the blue tube next to the flyer box. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; We hear you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re an avid cyclist \u00e2\u20ac\u201c can you tell us more about that?<\/p>\n<p>I love riding my road bike. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been cycling since 2011. I usually do 30- to 40-mile solo rides here in Rockwall and out to Royse City or Caddo Mills.  And I still ride with a group I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been riding with for years, Bike Friendly Mid Cities, out of North Richland Hills.  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve worked for Texas Health Resources in Clinical IT since 2009.  Our hospital in Flower Mound has a cycling team.  I still meet up with those guys for cycling rallies around North Texas a few times a year. &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/\">Upcoming Rides &#8211; FWBA<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Fort Worth Bicycling Association<\/h3>\n<p>Rusty Romp\nThu, July 16, 2020 8:00 AM\nBenbrook YMCA, 1899 Winscott Road, Benbrook, TX 76126\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908109\">https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908109<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rusty Chain Gang Ramble\nTue, July 21, 2020 7:30 AM\n4936 McPherson Blvd, Forth Worth, TX\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908088\">https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908088<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rusty Romp Tuesday Edition\nTue, July 21, 2020 8:00 AM\nBenbrook YMCA, 1899 Winscott Road, Benbrook, TX 76126\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908123\">https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908123<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rusty Romp\nThu, July 23, 2020 8:00 AM\nBenbrook YMCA, 1899 Winscott Road, Benbrook, TX 76126\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908110\">https:\/\/www.fwbaclub.org\/event-3908110<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.khou.com\/article\/news\/crime\/wanted-driver-accused-of-hitting-girl-on-bike-leaving-the-scene-in-cypress\/285-4bcd9298-4074-47b2-b82c-73a38680c012\">Wanted: Driver accused of hitting girl on bike, leaving the scene in Cypress<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Michelle Homer, Chloe Alexander | www.khou.com<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" style=\"border:1px solid #e6e6e6\" src=\"https:\/\/khou.com\/embeds\/video\/285-401ec0fd-89e5-41ff-a0a8-b59be31d2d03\/iframe\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><p>When a 9-year-old riding her bicycle was struck by a car Saturday, neighbors teamed up with Precinct 4 deputies to track down the driver who hit her.<\/p>\n<p>CYPRESS, Texas \u00e2\u20ac\u201d A warrant has been issued for a woman who allegedly struck a little girl on a bicycle in the Cypress area and then drove away.<\/p>\n<p>Meaghan Mancill is charged with felony failure to stop and render aid.<\/p>\n<p>Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said Mancill hit the 9-year-old from behind and the child was thrown off her bike Saturday evening in the Villages of Cypress Lakes subdivision. &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><h1>Texas Biking from Twitter<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u00f0\u0178\u2018\u20ac <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lawsoncraddock?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@lawsoncraddock<\/a> up there in the results this weekend at the Virtual <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/tdfunited?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#tdfunited<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GoZwift?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GoZwift<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1LNw5UQew5\">pic.twitter.com\/1LNw5UQew5<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FloBikes (@flobikes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/flobikes\/status\/1282812048167108608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 13, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Reminder!
