However, I was contacted by The Snakedoctor, Jeff Skokan, last night, who told me that Spencer Jones was putting on a New Years century+ ride starting at The Rim Trailhead. I didn\u2019t want to do that much riding because I knew they would kick my butt, so I decided to drive into Boerne, and leave from #MyOldShop so that I could meet them on Scenic Loop before they turned on Toutant Beauregard. I got up to Cross Mountain and decided to wait there for the group. As I was waiting, Keith Albright Blitz Racing rode up, and had the same idea. The group showed up, and they weren\u2019t hammering it as hard as I had thought\u2026 Thank God!? We got to Boerne and did the standard Spanish Pass &amp; Tower roads. However, then it was time to head up to Comfort the back way, so that we could climb S?K?Y?L?I?N?E? D?R?I?V?E? (the hard way). Thank goodness, The Snakedoctor gave me the confidence I needed to get up it without having to unclip and walk. The unbelievable gearing of ???? ???????? certainly helps as well! It was wonderful to see some of the absolute beasts of cycling all on the same ride together. Of note, are of course The Snakedoctor Jeff Skokan, Jenny Park, Bob Cornes | Team Skyline Cadence, and certainly Maggie Chan-Roper! As always, I am more than thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for saving me both physically and spiritually enabling me to return to this sport that I love. I thank him for another safe ride with a huge group (32) awesome cyclists, and ZERO mechanicals or flats!?\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"1451\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net\/q4skh6wBiJiXHgAWBiPAgCJV84D0xiZHDpJXZtl9394-1694x2048.jpg?resize=1200%2C1451&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/>\nTrying to get a pic of our rather large group as we headed down Spanish Pass Road for the sole purpose of suffering on my two favorite miles of blacktop, Tower Rd!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"1096\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net\/UfNEWTtqz0e0Vb7VX5Ee-mRri2Q0GymD0ahK_UMfWks-2048x1871.jpg?resize=1200%2C1096&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/>\nA pic of the group as we regrouped after Tower Rd.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10475568621\">Gang of 4 to Start 2024 Houston, Texas<\/a><\/h2>\n<h4>Nate Eguia | strava.com<\/h4>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"900\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net\/nRgvCSNH6v0-s09ZcxrEH39NbqaCitF5aVJl5bSW4RU-2048x1536.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2024\/01\/01\/texas-bicycling-action-for-january-1-2024\/\"><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":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bicycling-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4tok-gJ1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64295","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=64295"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64296,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64295\/revisions\/64296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
