LBJ 100 Volunteers Needed<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nURGENT:\u00c2\u00a0 We have lost a couple of Traffic Directors and SAG (Support and Gear) Drivers for our LBJ 100 on March 26. These are key positions on
\nthis event.\u00c2\u00a0 If you have a vehicle (SUV or pick-up) that could be used as a SAG vehicle for hauling bike riders back to a marshaling point, please call Nolan Kuehn (210-355-2645 or email mailto:nolank@gvtc.com) to volunteer, or get more info.\u00c2\u00a0 He would love to talk to you. Traffic Directors will be stationed at key turn points, directing certain riders when and where they should make their turns.\u00c2\u00a0 Once the riders have passed that point, the Traffic Directors job is finished.\u00c2\u00a0 He\/she can then concentrate on eating the Kiolbassa sausage to be served at the post-ride meal.<\/p>\n

\nfrom Bike Denton by bikedenton

The handshakes and conversations seemed like a delight for the builders who spend much of their time working in solitude. …<\/p>\n

La Primavera – Lago Vista Race Report<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nfrom Mike’s Bike Blog
\nSaturday
\nThe stage was set for an epic race and for some it probably was. You see the temperature at the 8am start was right around freezing and the clouds looked threatening. The start of the 35+ 4\/5 race was with dry roads except for one puddle but that soon changed after lap 1 when the heavens opened and it started to rain. Our pace wasn’t going to set…<\/p>\n
