It was also probably the last ride I\u2019ll do from \u201cmy shop\u201d as I start a new job on Monday. Of course, it was kind of emotional for me because before my crash, I used to always ride from #MyShop. After the crash however, when I finally started riding again thanks to The Snakedoctor, Jeff Skokan, I never left from #MyShop. When I finally dared to do it again, I would often get lost at various points\u2026 Often in the labyrinth of Fair Oaks Ranch. Like I always do, though, I kept at it until I had it down. I\u2019m sure this is just a transitional phase, and once I get my new job down, I will have a new route and pattern. As always, I think, my Lord and Savior, a Jesus, Christ, for saving me both physically and spiritually, for allowing me to return to this sport, that I love, and for another safe ride with out any mechanicals or flats.?<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9534583584\">Evening Ride San Antonio, Texas<\/a><\/h2>\n<h4>Steve Gutierrez | strava.com<\/h4>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"1200\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net\/wBKAzWC1FljRKmVJxREi1gfLcDSw41_OT4h0mCUg6Ek-2048x2048.jpg?resize=1200%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9534880364\">MTHCC Community Park \u201cTH-PM\u201d Missouri City, Texas<\/a><\/h2>\n<h4>Rickey Garrett | strava.com<\/h4>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"754\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net\/HedZ88biiRhTy6ovuIY7WwT46Dfg64vHVhanPvlCY9M-2048x1287.jpg?resize=1200%2C754&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/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\">Thank you to Extreme Terrain for awarding us the Clean Trail Program Grant. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iCGHEdk16F\">https:\/\/t.co\/iCGHEdk16F<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MPUmjlxZ7Q\">pic.twitter.com\/MPUmjlxZ7Q<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Keep McAllen Beautiful (@KMBMcAllen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KMBMcAllen\/status\/1684628012627558401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 27, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>New Event Added to Texbiker.net Calendar<\/h1>\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UogKhFNYCU\">https:\/\/t.co\/UogKhFNYCU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Rick Ankrum (@texbiker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/texbiker\/status\/1684691527392436224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 27, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2023\/07\/27\/texas-bicycling-news-experiences-july-27-2023\/\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bicycling-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4tok-gmA","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62904"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62905,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62904\/revisions\/62905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
