We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. After long, careful, and sometimes agonizing consideration we decided the potential health and safety risks to the TMBRA community, volunteers, and event staff as well as the impact to our already overtaxed healthcare systems in Kendall and Bexar counties would be too much. We had opened registration in hopes there may have been a downturn in COVID-19 cases and hospital admissions, but the trend after the holidays has continued to rise with no evidence of diminishing soon.  We look forward, as we are sure all of you do, to a return to some sort of normalcy when we can go back to a pre-pandemic race series schedule.  BikeReg will be refunding registration fees in the next few days for those who have already registered.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Texas Biking from Twitter<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">STOLEN &#8211; Brown REI ADV 3.1 in Austin, TX <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SoHF4KTYkH\">https:\/\/t.co\/SoHF4KTYkH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bike Index (@bikeindexstolen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bikeindexstolen\/status\/1349550232434982912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 14, 2021<\/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 is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The boys took Grammy and me on a sunny afternoon ride from Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park to MOPAC and back.
