Move trail from flat area to a slope for drainage to avoid standing water.

by Filipa Ioannou www.mysanantonio.com


The chilly morning did nothing to deter hundreds of bikers, joggers, pedestrians and their dogs who took to the streets for Síclovía, a free outdoor exercise festival that covers more than three miles of downtown streets.
The route starts at Maverick Park and goes down Broadway, Travis Street, N. Flores Street, César Chávez Boulevard and S. St Mary’s Street before ending at Roosevelt Park. Síclovía lasts until 3 p.m.
This is the tenth Síclovía for San Antonio and it features the longest route ever. The first was in …

Southern Tier eastward 2016

Luba: Pecos
Saturday April 2, 2016, 60 miles (97 km) – Total so far: 1,326 miles (2,133 km)
After escaping our motel this morning we continued riding through the canyons for a while until, finally, reaching famed Pecos River. Now we were outside West of Pecos law of Judge Roy Bean. Met another solitary cyclist that started riding from St.Augustine FL in mid-February. Our challenge for today was to cross safely the two-mile bridge just before Del Rio. We were told that larger cycling groups were given a police escort – that’s how dangerous riding on this bridge was. We waited for Richard at the beginning of the bridge to cross it together, thinking the strength is in numbers. Turned out that …

An Englishman in America

Apr 1: Around Big Bend National Park
Friday April 1, 2016, 61 miles (98 km) – Total so far: 2,624 miles (4,223 km)
I was woken this morning by the rising sun. Considering my alarm call yesterday morning was before 5 AM I felt a slight lie in was probably a good idea.
For a change to the usual routine, after breakfast I didn’t load up Rory but instead headed off unloaded on a short side trip slightly further down the Rio Grande. At Boquillas Canyon Overlook there is a good view of the river, and into Mexico on the other side. The Mexican village of Boquillas is very close. I’m glad I …

Apr 2: Around Big Bend National Park
Saturday April 2, 2016, 63 miles (101 km) – Total so far: 2,687 miles (4,324 km)
Posted via email Sun Apr 3 15:19:02 2016 PDT
Emerging from the tent this morning, it turned out the late arrivals last night were a group of guys about my age. Here for a weekend of hiking. Fortunately for me they seemed to have brought way too much food so I was gifted a plate of bacon and a further plate of sausage. Combined with my oatmeal that should keep me going for a little while! To our collective bemusement the other chap appeared and (at about 8.30 AM) offered everyone else a beer. After he’d gone I sense-checked this with the others. Yes they thought that was odd too!
First of all I had to brave the four miles of gravel up to …

Tom Goes West 2016

Day 35 – Fredericksburg to Hunt, Texas: Along the South Branch of the Guadelupe River
Sunday April 3, 2016, 54 miles (87 km) – Total so far: 1,548 miles (2,491 km)
First my knee report. It’s feeling better. A bit sore at the end of the day but pretty good to start each day. My thanks to Steve of Jacqui’s Cycling Class who was my ground controller on the knee issue. He has been following the blog and emailed links to several articles about knee pain – the cyclist’s most common injury. Also tips from my brother in law Steve. So I made corrections and they have certainly helped:
1. I’m taking Advil to reduce inflamation. 2. Applying ice in the evening again for the inflamation. 3. Lowered my bicycle saddle (seat) and moved it further back. Lowering was the one best correction. I had been thinking the seat should be highest to maximize the stroke but it put too much stress on my knee.
After breakfast at the Old German Bakery and Restuarant in Fredericksburg (I had Eggs Florentine and a pastry) I rode out again under …
