If you haven’t been to Cameron Park lately….

By AustinBike | austinmountainbiking.com

You need to go. Lots of new stuff, jumps, berms, walls, etc. Yeah, it’s not Spider Mountain, but it was fun and free. Great trail system. Every time I leave there I think "I need to go there more often." Hopefully I will not …

Mode of the Beast: 666.6 Miles Bicycled in 31 Days

A DUDE ABIKES | adudeabikes.com

Not that beast. I mean beast mode. I’m not a believer in magical numbers (unless my lottery tickets finally pay off). It was my second longest month ever, after the 731 I did in April 2017 including 202 Miles in 2 Days for the MS 150. Given my lack of a day job at the moment, I made it my bidness (as some people actually pronounce “business” in Texas) to bike my butt off (it’s still there, though). And bidness is goooood! That’s because I averaged 150 miles per …

The goal of $10,000 to help repair Emilio Vargas’ bike after a crash had been surpassed. By the end of Friday, some $16,000 were raised in four days.

Still, the Houston community …

Phil Gaimon, former pro rider, chats cycling, charity and cookies with Houston crowd

Dug Begley | www.houstonchronicle.com

Phil Gaimon is famous for conquering hills on his bike, but found himself in flat Houston on Saturday reminiscing about Hawaii to fight hunger.

His last day as a professional road racer, Dec. 31, 2016, he powered up the paved highway to the literal fork in the road. Turn right and continue on the asphalt up Mauna Loa. Take a left and face a four-mile dirt road to the peak of Mauna Kea.

As with many things, he …

I don’t Enve these wheels anymore…

At mile five, a rear spoke broke. I was simply rolling and wasn’t exerting any excess power. I was able to continue the ride after I unlocked the rear brake caliper and wrapped the spoke around another. Did most of a very fast ride until mile 52 when a front spoke broke! Obviously I’m headed to Bicycle Heaven right now to figure out what in the heck is going on!
