AUSTIN, TEXAS (July 10, 2015) — On the longest annual charity bicycle ride in the world, the Texas 4000 team will be rolling through Fort St. John on Saturday July 18, 2015, just 50 days after departing from Austin, Texas on their way to Anchorage, Alaska.

Upper valley residents complain bike club loitering is causing traffic problems

Crystal Price        www.kfoxtv.com

EL PASO, Texas — Motorists in El Paso’s Upper Valley raise concerns to state officials and local authorities about bicyclists congesting the intersection of Upper Valley Road and Artcraft Road.
Arianni Dubard lives near the intersection and claims that bicyclists often stop in groups on the road and block some of the driving lanes.
“It’s causing quite a bit of congestion in our area,” Dubard said. “In my eyes it’s kind of obstructing the road.”
Dubard said that increased traffic at the intersection is a result of construction on Borderland Road and Westside Drive. She said the cyclists only add to the congestion.
Dubard said she has been in three near-accidents in the last four months, because cyclists have been stopped in the streets.
“There are cars that will kind of change lanes suddenly to miss those …

Don Metivier sits in his workshop at his home in Corinth, examining the moving parts of his road bike. A mechanical engineer for most of his life, his trained eyes stay fixed from behind his glasses on the task at hand. He twists the wrench one more time, gives the wheel a final spin and rises.
“Ready?” the 68-year-old asks his wife.
“Yep,” answers 67-year-old Donna as she fastens her helmet.
The pair wheel their bicycles into the July sun and head out for their weekly 30-mile ride. Even after cycling in all 50 states, Don and Donna still work to add …

Based on the theory that women learn new skills differently from men, these rides are designated as “for women only”.The concept is simple:  the “girls” meet at local bike trails for group rides and mountain biking skills instruction.  Riders break into small groups based on ability and then hit the trail.  After the ride, the ladies regroup for a…
