Gear Up Texas

by Anne Clarrissimeaux        texasbikeracing.com


Everyone’s been in this spot before: you’ve upgraded your wheelset, and you’d like to sell your old set to offset the cost of the new ones. Heck, looking around at your bike stuff, you see a few more things you could totally get rid of — so before you know it, you’re arranging to meet up with some random person off Craiglist, your expensive wheelset in tow as you make your way to a dark parking lot. But you just return home without selling the wheels because the guy showed up with $200 less than you were asking and tried to bargain. So now you’re stuck on eBay, reluctantly listing the wheels since you know they’ll sell for way less than you’re wanting.
Oh screw it, you’ll just hang the wheels back in the garage. Maybe you’ll find a buddy who …

Website Helps Fund Disabled Girl’s Wish for Bicycle

www.kristv.com

FLOUR BLUFF – Most kids get their first bicycles when they’re 5 years old but Jasmine Gomez, who’s 13 and has always wanted to ride one, has never been able to. It’s not because she doesn’t know how, but because she physically can’t.
“Sometimes we have to remind her that she’s disabled for the things that she wants to do,” said her step-father Gilbert Reyna.
Since she was 2, Jasmine has suffered from Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3. It’s left her …

The “Roll Your A**” Tour- West Texas and the Big Bend of the Rio Grande

by Bike Hermit™         biketouringnews.com


It’s Christmas Eve 2014 and 50 degrees colder here in Santa Fe than what we have been accustomed to. After spending 14 days in west Texas and the Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park and sleeping in the tent or the teardrop trailer we are treating ourselves to two nights in relative luxury at The Lodge at Santa Fe. Tonight we’ll be taking the Christmas Eve Canyon Road Farolito Walk, an apparently popular city event, and ending up at The Palace to listen to some country music!
We have the touring bikes with us and left the truck for two nights in Alpine while we …

Local couple tackles 383-mile bicycle race

By Chris Jennings        Herald Democrat


Hang around any bike shop long enough and you’re likely to hear the phrase, “It was the hardest race I’ve ever done.” When you hear those words at Texoma Bicycle Works in Sherman from owners, Pat and Charlie Jenkins, it’s probably not an exaggeration. The couple was part of a trans-continental, record-setting tandem team in the Race Across America.
And that’s how they described their 383-mile ride in the 2014 RAAM qualifying event, No Country for Old Men. “The race was really hard, more compact and harder than RAAM because of the …

Biking For Birds

First, ‘Happy Holidays’ or whatever the correct term is these days. Hopefully everyone is having some nice family time! Second, thanks for all the nice notes and words of encouragement in the last day or so. It’s nice to know everyone is behind me!
As you all know, I am really beat up at the moment, and the weather the last few days has not helped my physical or mental condition one iota. Today, however, was a completely different story. There was not a cloud in the sky when I started riding this morning. There was a slight south wind that built all day and topped out at 20 MPH in the in afternoon. In short, these were certainly the best riding conditions I have experienced in the past 5 weeks. I have been really disappointed with the weather during this stretch, so …
