Joseph Marfoglio Austin SEO | www.austinseo1.info
https://youtu.be/R5goEJZdUIE
So this is a new series I’ve been wanting to start for awhile now. I started mountain biking about a year ago and it’s since become a pretty significant hobby of mine. Shred Sessions will consist of mostly GoPro chest mounted footage from my rides at different trails and mountain bike parks. These videos also may include other riders in (hopefully) other trails around the …

By Dug Begley | www.houstonchronicle.com
An updated bike master plan to guide development of high-quality trails accessible by all Houstonians is headed toward approval but remains dogged by the same issues that divided neighbors as cyclists claimed space on the roadways.
The comprehensive citywide plan is expected to be approved Wednesday morning by the City Council, cementing Houston’s desire to consider cyclists in future road planning where on-street …

196′ V, 3:04:04, AvgMph 11.6
Short day today to give my body some rest and out of the afternoon heat. Mailed some cold weather gear and other non essentials home today. W was a help this morning but the road conditions were heavy chip seal and no shoulder once out of El Paso county. Traffic was pretty heavy leaving San Elizario due to schools in the vicinity. No place open for breakfast until Fabens about 8 miles away.
I don’t know why anyone would …

Day 21: Van Horn to Marfa
Tuesday March 21, 2017
We managed to pedal 75 miles with a headwind, 1-2% grade uphill, not one service, two shade stops, and 30 miles of the worst road. We piled into a 24 hour Pilot truck stop at 5 AM and didn’t leave for 45 minutes. Sunrise was near 8:00 so we had two hours of dark riding. It is a rush to ride in darkness. We were out in the sun for 10 hours… enough. Border Patrol cars and …

Ride marshals don’t wear a badge but deserve a star
By Pete Radowick | www.wheelbrothers.com

First, veteran ride marshal Dennis Yanchak stopped to massage the calf muscles of a weary cyclist so she could finish her trek. A …
