Jesse Cortinas &#8211; Blitz Racing kept the pace moving plenty fast at the front with other beasts like Bob Cornes, Michael Karas, and Brian Weidmann &#8211; Blitz Racing helping in rotation. The ride was extra special for me, because we were joined by Pat McGrath who was over the top helpful to me after I was hit by a car in 2013. Pat rode a bike on a trainer in the median of IH-10 holding a sign to help raise money for my monumental medical costs. People like Pat (and several others) who prayed very hard for me helped me recover so miraculously. That is why as always, I thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for allowing me to return to this sport that I love, and for another safe ride with great people.????\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"1579\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net\/YfmkBFj4WAchmXNby26r1HfTNpOO8ab8wlTT9xWfIEs-1556x2048.jpg?resize=1200%2C1579&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"949\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net\/CfSKQMKJcf9jccHRrE_fJ-yPj6M727Y7reFMVAnEcHw-2048x1619.jpg?resize=1200%2C949&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>    <blockquote class=\"reddit-card\" >      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/BikingATX\/comments\/whyz2t\/riding_on_walnut_creek_trail\/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share\">Riding on Walnut Creek Trail<\/a> from      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/BikingATX\/\">BikingATX<\/a>    <\/blockquote>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.redditmedia.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Texas Biking from Twitter<\/h1>\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usacycling?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@usacycling<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MastersRoad?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MastersRoad<\/a> National Championship &#8211; SATURDAY Session 3 PODIUM <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YYGUlxj0vJ\">pic.twitter.com\/YYGUlxj0vJ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; One2Go_Results (@One2Go_Results) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/One2Go_Results\/status\/1556062460863336448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">And that\u2019s a wrap on Master Road Race Championships at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RoadNats?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RoadNats<\/a>.
