RAT Update from Kevin C. and Josh D.

Spinistry


About to get in bed. Found a crummy motel in the monkey butt (that’s exactly what it smells like, even from 30 miles away) town of Tulia. But they rented us a room at 1:30 in the morning so I thank them. Lev and I finished around 145 miles today, doin as much of the gravel as was ridable. Past the town of South Plains the dirt roads were still saturated and lots of standing water even. So we left that post office in SP and headed north (eventually, after failing at the dirt roads and spending time scraping down the bikes…again) and got to the town of Silverton. Not much there but they have an Allsup’s so we ate tons of terrible “food” (pronounced ‘fuel’) and started out on the 28 mile run to Tulia. We even said that we might press on to the 60-mile-away town of Dimmitt, but we would make that decision in Tulia.

Bicycling supportive Township candidates win!

by Maurizio Topini        woodlandscycling.org

Last night, The Woodlands voters took a next step towards creating a better community through bicycling by selecting bicycling supportive candidates.  Township members Gordy Bunch, Mike Bass, Jeff Long and Ed Robb each won their respective races.  Early voting was a key factor in deciding the election.  In fact, more Woodlands residents turned out for early voting in the local election this year than cast ballots altogether in 2012 and 2013.  That includes more people who ride bikes turning out to the polls to make their voices heard.  Over the next year there are several important bicycling initiatives that the Woodlands Township Board will take up; including completion of the Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan, selecting which…
