Texas Biking News March 29th
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso
Riding with Heyoka      biking.hairsonfire.com
Today’s ride was nice and easy until the end. I started out kind of late, about 8:30. But I had another falling out with my GPS and it sent me looping around Las Cruces looking for the start of the route, so it ended up being 9:00 before I hit the correct route. The weather was cool this morning. It warmed up quickly and the roads were all rural farmland so the ride was pleasant. When I got to Vinton, TX the route went on a great bike greenway that ran along the dry Rio Grande. I made it to El Paso right around 2 pm and then had another 5 miles to go to make it to the bike shop. I think they must have …

Cyclists riding to raise awareness of the “silent killerâ€
By Phil Prazan      kxan.com
AUSTIN (KXAN) – The American Cancer Society estimates more than 20,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year and 14,000 others will die. It’s called the “silent killer†because often, doctors find no trace of the cancer until it’s well advanced.
More than 100 Texans joined together Sunday for something that looked like a normal cycling class. However, the event was much more than that. Participants hope to teach us a thing or to about ovarian cancer — something that’s dented the lives of most people on these bikes.
Diagnosed in 2010, Julie Shrell survived ovarian cancer. She hopes to raise both money for research and …
Crowds take over Westheimer as Sunday Streets returns to Houston
By Karen Chen      www.chron.com
As the sun claimed high noon, police officers ushered the last few cars off lower Westheimer with whistles and stern fingers. A gang on wheels took their place – biking, roller-blading and scootering through Montrose, crisscrossing the yellow and dotted lines. Pedestrians eyed the empty road suspiciously before straying off the sidewalk onto the thoroughfare.
“We’re walking in the middle of the street!” a boy shouted to his parents, his voice ringing with the unmistakable glee of rebellion.
Discovering the city
Westheimer, so often a tad too narrow and busy experienced from the inside of trucks and cars, was closed between Taft and …
