And, after re-packing and re-organizing my trailer I’m more efficient and lighter weight than ever. I even sent back the “trunk” I had on my bike to jettison weight. Let’s just say I’m REALLY worried about some of the climbing coming up!
Just as I was leaving the outskirts of Van Horn, I caught up to Reverend Hans Myors. Hans has …

by Sameer Gokhale | cycling.powweb.com

Happy New year!
Let me start by wishing everyone a Very Happy and Prosperous 2017! It’s a new year and that brings along a new blogger to write about all the interesting things that take place in our big world of cycling.
Let me start by introducing myself (I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t know me..but well…) I’m originally from India. My first introduction to Texas was in 2001 when I came here to pursue my masters at Texas A&M..you guessed it, not! – Kingsville. Go Javelinas! Since then I’ve traveled back and forth between US and India. Five years back, I finally decided to stick around in San Antonio and have enjoyed it ever since. I like country music more than …
