Corinth Cycling
Darrell Hull (in the picture) and Stan Kruse (not in the picture) have been racing the Masters 50+ category for us since the begining of the year. Both have landed top 10 in almost every race and finished 5th and 2nd respectively a couple of weeks ago at the Iris Stagner Mineral Wells Stage Race. Impressive results for these two guys. I was waiting to post until…

Biking Buddy
Bike Noob
I posted a message on the club’s Yahoo group last night that, given our terrific forecast for the day, it was time for the B riders to start showing up for club rides.
It didn’t work. Besides me, only two others came out (Meanwhile, the A group had 25 riders!). But that didn’t dampen my spirits any, because one of them was Maggie, who has become my favorite riding buddy.
About two years ago, our club president told me a new rider had come out for a ride I had missed. He said she made a noble effort to keep up…

Steiner Ranch Cycling
WEEKEND RECAP (March 1st and March 2nd)
Saturday we had two separate rides. At least 7 riders went out and did the Bagel Ride and 16 of us met at C&C for what we thought was going to be the Triple B’s. However, due to fog we all decided to change the route and did the Avery Ranch loop. There was a reported at least 6 flats.
Sunday 10 riders showed up for the Sunday Social Ride. The temperature started at 70 degrees but after a few minutes into the ride the temperature must have dropped 20 degrees. Then for those that finished the ride it rained towards the end of the ride.
KIT UPDATE
The fitting party was a success and we have 43 people sign up for a kit. There was a vote and the 30 individuals have been selected and we will…

Day 57: Fredericksburg to Hunt: Where the Deer and the Antelopes Play
Sunday March 2, 2014, 68 km (42 miles) – Total so far: 3,308 km (2,055 miles)
At dawn it was pleasantly mild, so there was no reluctance involved in getting out of the sleeping bag.We took the tent down and packed it away nice and dry, and sat down to cook some oatmeal and answer some Guestbook messages. That’s when a few fine sprinkles of rain began. It sent us into the bath house to carry on, but when we were ready to leave on the bikes we still did not have on any rain gear. …
