In Loving Memory of Dr. Timothy Adams

www.beckchapels.com


Timothy Dow Adams, born John Middleton Dow Adams, in Monterey, California on December 11, 1943, was killed October 25 car while on a bicycle ride in the country near his Florence home. His parents, Colonel Lorenzo Dow Adams and April Amis Adams, preceded him in death as did his younger brother, Christopher Amis Adams, and his beloved parents-in-law, Paul and Edna Galloway.
Tim once said that everything he loved started with the letter B: blues, bar-b-que, basketball, and bicycling. When his wife questioned this line-up, he quickly added: Oh,, my Baby!. He looked untouched in death for which we are grateful; only a bruise on his forehead told of his end. He was such a smart man, and so funny, and for a natural loner he had many friends who valued his intellect, enjoyed his humor, and cherished his ability to make memories.
As an Army brat he moved often living in California, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Virginia, Texas, Tokyo, and Ankara among others. For each post there was a story, an adventure, a memory. Moving to Fort Hood was…

2014 Enchilada Buffet Ride Report

by John        www.austinbike.com

We started off in a mass, with almost 130 riders hitting the trail at the same time  While the snake wound its way through the trails it was a bit eerie to see so many riders at once as well as so much light on the trail.  Somehow I ended up in the fast group, which was both a blessing and a curse.  The best comment of the day started early when we got to the main creek crossing and the rocks forced everyone to dismount and walk a short distance.  “We’ve hardly started the ride and we’re already walking Walnut Creek …”
We hit the streets and started heading for Shoal Creek as a mass of bikes.  The lights allowed us to regroup slightly, so the pack was tight and moving quickly.  When we got down below 2222 I saw the group from Big Pig racing all on singlespeeds.  They were spinning like crazy trying to keep up with a group that was moving at 15-20 MPH.  When we got to the greenbelt, the first bottleneck occurred.  Everyone was trying to hit the stairs and the smart people realized there were several ways down.  I followed a group of…

Tips For a First Time Enchilada Buffet Rider

by John        www.austinbike.com

The Enchilada Buffet is the most grueling ride in all of Austin.  It encompasses 5 of the most popular local trails and all of the connecting roads between them. I specifically waited until after I finished the ride to share this list.  I have mainly accumulated this knowledge from other riders, but wanted to make sure that it was really applicable first.  This is targeted at first timers who are not sure what to expect. With the right mindset and some effort, you can finish the ride, but it’s pretty difficult to just show up and finish.
This blog has tips for how to prepare for and survive your first buffet.

Your Bike
Seat – You’re going to be on it for hours, make sure it is comfortable.  I tried a different seat during my training rides and ended up with a rash that took a week off the saddle to recover from.
Lights – Depending on how fast you ride, you may only need them in the morning.  If this is your first time, err on…

A Pre-Halloween Visit With The Village Creek Indian Ghosts Prior To Trick Or Treating With Butter From ALDI

Durango Texas


Today I needed to get myself a pound of butter at ALDI, along with other weight gain nutrients, so I decided prior to getting fat gain enablers, I’d go to Arlington to the Village Creek Natural Historical Area to check in on the Indian Ghosts on the day before one of their favorite holidays.
Halloween.
All of which explains why you see my handlebars parked on the Village Creek paved trail.
Upon arrival at the Natural Area’s paved parking lot I saw an Arlington Animal Control Officer releasing several opossums back to the…

About Rick Ankrum

In 1999 I had a burning desire to create a web site focused on Texas bicycling. Over the years this web site has existed many people have visited. As I think of information I need to bicycle I add them to the web site.
