Biking event a massive hassle for Houston motorists
thedailycougar.com
I was making my way outside of Rockefeller Hall when I noticed a couple of beautifully decorated bicycles making their way down Washington Avenue. They were neon colors, all lit up with Christmas lights.
I stared at them as they zoomed past, and quickly tapped my friend’s shoulder, telling him “Look! Aren’t those bicycles so cool?”
A police officer standing a few feet away from me audibly sighed. I looked over at him, and he rolled…

A Single Speed Perspective of Rudolph’s Revenge
www.texasmountainbiketrails.com

by: Jesse Bernal
After a gloomy start to this year’s endurance season I was eager to get the first race under my belt. In the week before the original date of Rudolph’s Revenge, the Dallas/Ft. Worth area had received a sudden freak ice/snow storm that put a damper on a couple of the scheduled endurance races, including this one. Then, just a few weeks later, another unprecedented event forced the DORBA endurance race at Northshore to end early. The cause, a grassfire started by a campfire that wasn’t extinguished properly.
Needless to say, the DFW endurance racers were ready for a race. Fast-forward to January 26th, the rescheduled date for Rudolph’s Revenge, and we would finally get the…

Fresno-Sauceda Loop
www.imba.com

A huge day in the saddle and super challenging,” says IMBA board member and Mountain Bike Hall of fame inductee Hill Abell. “Even the most accomplished 4-wheeler would have second thoughts about traversing the rugged double track segments, and you’ll witness incredible geography throughout the ride.”

This burly loop offers a blend of singletrack, creek beds and 4×4 roads, with frequent, often steep, climbs and descents. The riverbed sections vary from hard-packed to sandy and soft, with highly technical sections. There are significant archeological and historical sites along the route, including…
