Camping and Hotels<\/p>\n

Those of you have been to our race before know that this event is a benefit for our local police department bike unit. They allow us to use their training academy as our venue as well as the surrounding land for campsites. The money raised from camping goes straight to the police department. So\u2026we love it when people choose to camp instead of going to hotels! However, given the weather forecast, we totally understand if many of y\u2019all want to grab a room at a local hotel or RV campground. We don\u2019t blame you at all for that. It looks like the temps are going to be pretty chilly at night! For those …\n\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Layover day in Fredericksburg Texas: Not in the mood to freeze my butt off again!<\/h4>\n

Thursday February 24, 2022\nWhen I pulled into Fredericksburg yesterday and I saw the forecast for today I knew I wasn\u2019t getting it on the bike so I reserved my hotel for two nights. i\u2019m glad I did since there were snow flurries all day long and the temperature didn\u2019t get above 28\u00b0. I slept really well last night. I woke up and went to the lobby for some coffee and muffins and had a fun conversation with the owners father. Turns out his son was returning today from Mexico City after climbing a mountain. His son also does some longest distance biking. Quite the adventurous young man. After a while I walked to a Walmart to get a …<\/p>\n

By Haley Samsel | patch.com<\/h4>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Another 12 kiosks are expected to be added, with a focus on areas of Fort Worth that have never had access to the bike sharing service.<\/p>\n

With the COVID-19 pandemic entering its second year in 2021, Fort Worth Bike Sharing expected to see a slow decline in the number of people using their recognizable red and white B-cycles, available for rent at 59 stations across the city.<\/p>\n

Data collected over the past year indicates the opposite. Ridership increased by 4% from 2020, and the service counted 84,073 rides last year compared to 56,348 in 2019, said Jennifer Grissom, the director of Fort Worth Bike Sharing. …<\/p>\n
