The students met at the Ball Fields at Spring Lake Park and rode their bikes to school together. When the student arrived on campus the group were …

When AIDS LifeCycle leaves San Francisco for Los Angeles, Dallas will be represented by Cam Posani, riding in his second event, and Linda Griffith, who will be preparing meals for the riders and crew.
Now in its 23rd year, AIDS LifeCycle bike ride benefits the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation that brings visibility to HIV prevention and care.
Posani is riding in memory of his brother, John Anthony Posani, and his partner, Rene Saxon, as well as his friends John and Chris, all of whom were lost to AIDS.
Dallas used to have its own AIDS rides — first, the Texas Tanqueray AIDS Ride from Houston to …
This weekend’s rides: Liberty Hill! Red Horn!
by Thomas
steinerranchcycling.com
After last week’s hilly-as-hell Real Ale ride, let’s shoot for a flat-ish route and head up to Liberty Hill. Rather than nailing down the route exactly as usual, let’s leave a little bit of flexibility in our route so we can maybe avoid some of Ronald Reagan or find some new routes based on expertise from those that show. I expect the route to be around 65 miles or so …

Back in 2011, I wrote a column that discussed why there were very few local cycling events that year and listed some strategies to bring events back to San Angelo.
Unfortunately, the local cycling event situation has not improved since 2011 and the decline in events is starting to impact local triathlons and to a lesser extent running.
Running is still up in terms of the number of events and participants, but there are …

Day 47: Cedar Creek – Navasota: Feelin’ the burn (but I also feel the bern ;))
Tuesday May 24, 2016
Tyler drove me out to cedar creek in a rental car, which spared me about 10 miles of biking. It was hard to say goodbye but I guess luckily(?) it wasn’t drawn out since he sorta had to rush to return the car and make his flight. I started cycling around noon and it felt strange to be alone again. Most of the ride I was sort of in this haze. I felt exposed to cars for the first time in a while, but eventually I got used to it. I biked through Bastrop state park which was mostly burnt down from a fire in 2001 and it looked really trippy. Roosevelt had created the park in the 1930s after …
