Race Preview – Terra X – 11.22.14
by joeyTWOwheels      texascx.com
Back to Space City this weekend for two classic courses in the Texas Cup. First up on Saturday, Terra X.
Craig FItzgerald, one of the fast masters on the TXCX scene, has been directing races in Texas since 2007. In fact, Terra X is five years old this year. (Don’t forget about past race previews – videos and more – here.)

by Eric Burns
Quick video of riding Mulligan at the end of my ride this evening. Managed to clip a tree and smash my knuckle pretty good, thus the expletive. Also photo-bombed a family doing holiday photos as I came down Cru Jones.

Imagine knowing your calling at 5 years old. For C.J. Burford, now all of 9, that’s when he knew for certain what he was supposed to do in life. He was supposed to raise money for sick children all over the world by riding his bike.
By the time this little man on a mission pedals into St. Augustine Beach on Saturday, he will have ridden his Jamis Xenith Comp bike 1,500 miles in 83 days for a good cause.
Through his family’s nonprofit organization, loveFar, the goal is to raise $100,000 for the National Children’s Cancer Society.
He doesn’t do this for any specific child; he just knows there is a lot of need. C.J. said he chose NCCS because it directly helps families of children with cancer by providing financial, emotional and educational resources.
Starting in Oceanside, Ca., on Sept. 1, C.J. has been pedaling the route called the Southern Tier Adventure Cycling route, which winds through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, …
