HEMET: Women’s cycling team hosted in family’s home

BY KYLE LUNDBERG        www.pe.com


When a group of Texas cyclists got together to form the Haute Wheels Racing women’s cycling team last November, they agreed that, while skill level was important, they wouldn’t get very far if they didn’t work well together.
“We’ve all raced each other as competitors, so we knew each other’s personalities,” said team captain Mandy Heintz.
That teamwork served them well in the Texas circuit, where they won all seven races in which they competed. And not long after becoming a team, they knew they wanted to go big.
This week marks the team’s first appearance in the Redlands Bicycle Classic, where they hope to make an impact during the five-day series of racing events, culminating with two days of…

Stories for the Ages

Shawnee Trail Cycling Club

You can depend on the Texas weather to give you stories to tell your children.  First and foremost, everyone made it home safely from our ride although a few were a bit worse for wear.  Some very fun times last night, but some that were also very frightening, especially towards the end.  I realize this reads more like a blog than most of our posts, but I wanted to give our members a chance to share the experience.
