Cyclists pedal across Texas to raise money for students in Kenya
By Pam LeBlanc
www.mystatesman.com
Fueled by barbecue and enchiladas, determined to help students halfway around the globe, and inflicted, perhaps, with a touch of the crazies, John Burnett and Hawk Mendenhall pedaled all the way across Texas for charity.
Their route covered more than 1,100 miles on mostly two-lane back roads.
Burnett, a roving correspondent for National Public Radio, and Mendenhall, director of broadcast and content for KUT-FM, Austin’s NPR station, started in Sunland, New Mexico, on April 10, and rolled into Merryville, Louisiana, 17 days later. …

Headed north to Argyle, Tx to catch up with a few ole friends and do the Red River Riot. This will be the first year for it to have a 200 mile option and yes I’m in for it. Although, as a cyclist Ill start up front with my excuses, because we all have them. Just recently bought some new shoes and only did a few rides with them before having an irritation on the top side of my ankle. But I had my mind set to go play bike on some gravel roads with some friends. So I arrive at Brad’s house around 5 that evening and he and Mike have the smoker fired up and all of the meat for the event is on . Man hugs are had, and they get that sorted so we go for a short gravel ride that we all used to do on Mondays. Adam and Cope came over and join us and have a beer when we are done and tell lies for a bit. Brad and I set up our hammocks for …
