Texas Beer Refinery Time Trial

Sunday, Aug 7, 2016, 7:00 AM

Texas Beer Refinery
2709 Dickinson Ave. Dickinson, TX

1 Cyclists Went

This is a time trial style event. Two loops totaling a short 8.5 miles or so. It’s a competition, but I don’t think it’s a super hard-core showdown. I haven’t been to it before though, so I may be wrong about that. However, beer and cycling have a long history together, and I’m not one to stand in the way of tradition. It is on open roads, frontage…

Bill Would End Longstanding Ban on Bikes in US Wilderness

By michelle l. price, associated press

abcnews.go.com

More than 100 million acres of America’s most rugged landscapes designated as wilderness are off-limits to mountain bikers, but two Utah senators have introduced legislation that would allow bikers to join hikers and horseback riders in those scenic, undisturbed areas.
The proposal is controversial within the biking community and opposed by conservationists who say bikes would erode trails and upset the five-decade notion of wilderness as primitive spaces.
The bill from …

We said goodbye to the abandoned Oakbrook Apartments and cleared the way for new greenspace along White Oak Bayou Greenway!
On Saturday, July 23, Houston Parks Board celebrated the demolition of an abandoned apartment complex along White Oak Bayou Greenway with Mayor Sylvester Turner, Council Member Brenda Stardig, District A, and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department.

Ride with a peloton!!

Bike Barn Clear Lake
2422 Bay Area Blvd Houston, TX

3 Cyclists Went

My bike handling skills are getting a little rusty. Riding in a disciplined group is something we should all do once in a while. They have slow groups riding moderate distances as well as blazing fast groups and everything in between. Be prepared with water, a snack, and maybe some cash for a water refill at the stop. This is a different experienc…

Day 80: Rain Rain
Saturday June 25, 2016, 177 km (110 miles) – Total so far: 3,463 km (2,152 miles)
Before the sun rose, I woke to hear a light sprinkling of rain. It stopped almost as soon as it started but that wasn’t much of a comfort because I knew there was a high chance of rain today. It could be a little or it could be a lot. I checked the weather for the upcoming towns during hours when I might be there and it didn’t look good. I hoped that there was a time that I could leave that …

Day 81: Bridge Sprinter
Sunday June 26, 2016, 68 km (42 miles) – Total so far: 3,531 km (2,194 miles)
Checking the map, I could see that I was nearing Houston. While I had been winging it to get to Houston I needed to more carefully coordinate my efforts across the large city. I still wasn’t even sure where in Houston I wanted to land in. I knew that I wanted to go to Galveston, and the NASA space center so I sort of looked towards that direction but I knew I had better get it sorted before I got much closer.
I checked Warmshowers to see if anyone on my …
