Day 23: Pedernales Falls State Park to Fredericksburg
Saturday March 12, 2016, 54 miles (87 km) – Total so far: 1,543 miles (2,483 km)
Woke up to the beautiful sun shining on my tent this morning. It sure makes you appreciate it when it’s not around for a few days. We stuck around our campsite for a few hours drying everything out from the humidity before setting off for the day. It was a nice ride through a rolling terrain to make it to Fredericksburg this evening. We’re now camped in a town park on the outskirts of Fredericksburg, with many other …

Day 24: Fredericksburg to Lost Maples State Park
Sunday March 13, 2016, 81 miles (130 km) – Total so far: 1,624 miles (2,614 km)
It was a glorious day to be biking today. We had clear skies and warm temperatures all day for the first time in quite a while. We weren’t able to move as fast as some days because of a headwind for most of the day and hilly terrain again, but the pretty country and nice blue sky made up for it. This morning we stuck around the campsite for a while again to let our stuff dry out (things get really damp at night because of the recent heavy rain). For the first 20 or 30 miles we saw a lot of other cyclists on the road. Apparently something called Hell Week is going on in the nearby town, and around 200 cyclists are participating in the daily rides all …

Day 25: Lost Maples State Park to Camp Wood
Monday March 14, 2016, 46 miles (74 km) – Total so far: 1,670 miles (2,688 km)
Another beautifully warm day on the road today. This morning at the campground we met an older couple traveling by bicycle to San Diego as well, and then they plan to ride up the coast to Seattle, where they’re from. We bumped into them a few times on the road today as well, but unfortunately I forgot to get a picture of them. It’s nice to have pictures of other cyclists we meet on the …

Day 26: Camp Wood to Del Rio
Tuesday March 15, 2016, 83 miles (134 km) – Total so far: 1,753 miles (2,821 km)
This morning after leaving our beautiful campsite on the river, we had a 50 mile stretch without anything, such as a store or place to get water, but we had prepared accordingly so it went fine. We’re definitely getting into some undeveloped parts of the U.S. here in western Texas. The riding today went well, and we made good time in getting to Del Rio just before dark. We’re now camped in an RV park on the …

Bike Ride in LBJ Grasslands on the Blue Trail Part 1 of 2

Joshua Kersey


My friend and I took counterclockwise ride along the Blue Trail of the LBJ Grasslands near TADRA Point. My friend rode a Surly Karate Monkey and I rode a Trek Crossrip Elite. This video shows what the horse gates are like. It also shows how sandy the soil is. There’s some rocks and a little clay, but the vast majority is packed sand with long stretches of loose sand. At one point we crossed a stream. Another point had a nice sturdy bridge over a massive ravine, aka “Royal Gorge”. This is a great location for mountain bike riding.

Houston area Rides

by aggarcia www.bikeforums.net

I rode the BBX last Sunday. This calling up of the Waller deputies left many intersections unmanned that were normally have officers controlling traffic. The officers writing tickets were generally watching stop signs and roads on the additional loop for 55 and 75 routes. I did see a patrol car near the end that kept moving around, but no stop signs in that area.
Complaints were multiple riders riding abreast, not stopping for stop signs where no officer present, littering along the roads, riders using the roadside as their restroom. Many of these complaints were not at the BBX specifically, but all cyclist in that …

2nd stage on AC

Langtry, TX: So small
Saturday March 19, 2016, 30 miles (48 km) – Total so far: 378 miles (608 km)
Another day of taking it easy with only 30 miles. I don’t have to do 90 miles if I don’t want to. Some of the time I just sit around waiting for time or Gary to walk over and ask if I want a beer. Hello! I didn’t get a dinner invitation but that’s ok! Another day seeing cyclists going east. Camping is free at the primative community center. Water …

Sanderson, TX: Riding with the wind
Sunday March 20, 2016, 60 miles (97 km) – Total so far: 438 miles (705 km)
During the night I programmed my brain for two options- how strong would the wind be. I settled for Sanderson some 60 miles away. The wind was delicious but light 8 to 13 mph. I felt sorry for the 8 cyclists I met going east, separated into 3 groups. There was soda and chips waiting 40 miles down the …
