BILL CULLINS: Groups can lead you to faster, farther rides
by San Angelo Standard Times
With the return of warmer weather and longer days, the local group rides have started up again. At last count, there were at least nine group rides per week for local cyclists to choose from.

I do my own version of a group ride. I just pedal along, talk to (and answer) myself, and thus a solitary excursion becomes a “group ride of two.” During really hard or long workouts, a third little voice appears in my head, which makes it a group of three.

All jokes aside, taking part in real group rides is an effective way to…

Crossing Texas by bicycle is not an easy feat at all and certainly I am not suggesting that anyone try to cross from El Paso to Beaumont; that would indeed be a nightmare. As big as Texas is there are only a few really good routes to …

Charley and Kamala in Tandem: Muenster TX
by tumbleweedland
The day’s going to be a long one. We’re setting out to do 65 miles. No problem. The hills are more shallow and we have a tailwind–first one in a week. We’re putting the miles behind us, rolling and pedaling hard. Sometimes we work just as hard as when we’re bucking a wind or climbing mountains, but it feels wonderful to spin for speed. Twenty miles out from Paris, the symbol for the end of the day, we change counties. Now changing counties…
