Interview – Plane Great Ride 2014 – Mongomery, TX
www.wheelbrothers.com
It’s that time of the year again Wheel Brothers! Time for the Plane Great Ride 2014! Neil Moore was kind enough to share a little about this ride with us. With amazing scenery, Plane Great is one you will not want to miss.
Why join your ride?
We think we have some of the best routes around. If you like beautiful scenery and lots of support then this is the ride.
How long has your ride been around?
Ten years.
What was the motivation behind starting the ride and who benefits from it?
We had a growing BP MS150 team (Continental Airlines Team) and during a downturn in the airline industry we lost most of our company support. We had a lot of members that were passionate about cycling and the causes we support so we decided to try putting on this ride. Some of the proceeds fund our logistics cost for the…

Bike Across Texas 2015
by BikeAcrossTexas      www.bikeforums.net
I’m starting a ride next year that will traverse Texas, starting in Orange at the Sabine River, and finishing in El Paso at the Rio Grande. This ride will coincide with the BPMS150 Houston to Austin, starting 2 days before, and continuing on the Tuesday after.
This ride will pass through the piney woods of east Texas, Coastal plains, Texas Hill Country, and on through West Texas through the Chisos Mountains. We’ll have bike transport and sag support. I’m working on accomodations.
This will be purely non profit. Motivation for this ride will be for the personal challenge of riding 850 + miles in 10 days.
I’d like to hear from those who have an interest in participating in this “bucket list” magnitude event.

Intro: Southwest to Southeast USA
By Katie Farynaz      www.crazyguyonabike.com
We decided to do this bicycle trip to hopefully avoid most of the winter weather, visit as many family and friends as possible along the way, and just for the fun of it.
The plan is to travel by bus from Denver, CO to Albuquerque, NM then pedal to Sierra Vista, AZ for Thanksgiving with family. After Thanksgiving we’ll head east through New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. After Florida we’ll go north through Georgia and finish up in South Carolina or North Carolina.
