Tunnel Vision

By Kat Hunter, ATC Racing        texasbikeracing.com


I think three things make you good at time trialing: 1) Steady, structured training. A lot of it. 2) The right equipment and position. 3) The ability to push yourself when racing alone and ignore the inner survival mechanism that says pain is bad.
This year the state time trial championships, put on by the Northwest Cycling Club (NWCC), were held on June 7 and 8 in Hempstead, a small town about 53 miles west of Houston. The 40K course was a flat out-and-back, with smooth pavement and minimal traffic. As predicted, for both Saturday’s individual and Sunday’s team time trials, there was a headwind to the turnaround and a tailwind for the return. The…

Nationwide study on biking and walking shows El Paso lags far behind peer cities

VeloPaso

El Paso ranked among deadliest city for bicyclists and pedestrians, lowest levels of biking and walking, least amount of bicycle infrastructure
El Paso ranks among the highest in bicycle-pedestrian fatality rates, lowest in bicycling and walking levels, and dead last in bicycle infrastructure per square mile, according to the latest benchmark report on Bicycle and Walking in the United States which collects and analyzes data on the country’s 51 largest cities. (See attached excerpts from report.)
“El Paso’s leading in all the wrong indicators,” said Victor Cordero, vice president of the Velo Paso Bicycle-Pedestrian Coalition. “Behind these numbers we find a mom who can’t bike down the street with her family or let her kids walk to school without feeling like…

Full Moon Ride

San Angelo Bicycle Association

Date(s) – 06/13/2014
8:00 pm – 10:30 pm
Location: Burkett Trailhead
Full Moon Rides are held at San Angelo State Park and start at 8pm at Burkett Trailhead.  Depending on the group, we will go anywhere from 9 miles to 18 miles.
Depending on who shows up is how we dictate how the ride will go.  If there are newbies, then we will keep it to a couple of hours on fairly easy trails.  If it is experienced riders, we will do the same trails as we normally do in daylight and ride the entire park. Usually we are finished by 10:30 to 11pm, but have stayed riding until 1am before.

My first century bike ride

Turnin’ Cranks

The first half of my century ride condensed into 10 second clips.

June 14th [Avery Ranch] and June 15th [Social] Rides!

Steiner Ranch Cycling Group


Saturday was the Jester King Brewery II ride.  We had a really good turn out and a number of clubs turn out for the ride.  The weather was nice and the food and brews were good.
Sunday was the Steiner Ranch social ride and only Thomas showed up.  The warm rain must have scared everyone away except the hard core riders.
The pub crawler ride is tomorrow (Wednesday) evening and it is going to be awesome!  Hopefully it is so fun that we organize another one in the near future so the ones that could not partake get another opportunity.  I’m sure pictures and stories will be plentiful.
