Texas Hill Country Bike Tour – Velo View Tours

by Jarrett2        www.bikeforums.net

Just got back from a 5-day vacation/3-day bike tour in the Texas Hill Country with the Velo View Bike Tours company. This was simply the best bike trip I’ve ever been on by far.
The routes were 38, 55 and 45 miles over three days with a decent amount of climbing. It was the first time I’ve encountered 17-20% grades before and they were much funner to go down than to go up
The whole trip was fully supported by the Velo View tour van. They picked us up in Austin, then started the ride in Blanco, rode to Luckenbach, were shuttled to a winery for lunch, then on to the ranch cabins that we called home base for the weekend. Dinner was at …

Fort Davis Cyclefest

Pedal Pushers        roy-pedalpushers.blogspot.com

Line up was at the Prude Ranch, or, from your hotel. I chose the hotel start line. Right out of Fort Davis one embarks upon a long relatively straight ride. The road is a false flat. For the first 10 miles, the road is from 1-3%, and of course this particular day the wind was in your face. As a matter of fact, it was in our face most of the day, but I will have more to say about that later. …

The Secret To Averaging 19mph on a Bike

by Johnny Guzman        bicyclepointofview.blogspot.com

Tips and Tricks to Becoming a Faster Recreational Cyclist

Why 19mph? Why not set a 20+mph average speed as a personal goal? First of all, I can’t speak about what I have never experienced. In all of my 8 or more years of cycling recreationally, I have yet to do a 20mph average speed on a ride, group or solo. I have soloed 18 to 19mph riding alone doing distances of over 20 miles. Second of all, anyone averaging over 20mph on a solo ride or in a group setting has improved to a whole other level. Averaging 20+mph consistently on long rides sets the rider up for racing and holding 24mph averages in criteriums. The difference between an 18-19mph average and a 20mph average is what separates the riders from the racers in the cycling world.  I have enough experience to offer suggestions to my readers on …
