H\u00c3\u00bcgelland Holiday Marathon at Hill Top Trails<\/a><\/h2>\n

TMBRA Texas Mountain Bike Racing Association | www.facebook.com<\/h3>\n

After careful consideration and discussion, we are sad to report that we will have to cancel the H\u00c3\u00bcgelland Holiday Marathon at Hill Top Trails on December 5, 2020.\nThe health and safety of the Fredericksburg and TMBRA communities are our main priorities and hosting the event during this time does not seem prudent. Many factors contributed to this decision including advice from our local medical teams, the closing of the local schools, the lack of local volunteers willing to be at the event and the timing of the race a week after Thanksgiving. All of the additional pre-ride days will be cancelled and the riding opportunities will go back to the regular schedule of Sundays 10-1:30 and Monday nights at 6 pm. We look forward to hosting next year and hope everyone has a safe holiday season.\nLisa, Adam and the Hill Country Team<\/p>\n

Last weekend I rode my bike across this famous @TxDOT<\/a> I-10 @ Gessner; 10-11 lane intersection-each direction. Just saying, as a person biking, this was not a favorable experience. This is similar to what is proposed along I-45; please experience it & submit comments to TxDOT pic.twitter.com\/TbBXDVFYgK<\/a><\/p>— Amar Mohite (@amarpmohite) November 25, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
