Registration opens for Tour de France-affiliated cycling event set for 2022

by Brendan Gibbons | sanantonioreport.org

Registration is now open for what organizers hope will be the city’s largest-ever cycling event next year, an array of rides for both serious racers and recreational cyclists staged by a group affiliated with the Tour de France.

L’Etape San Antonio sponsor Michael Brown and local sports and tourism officials announced details at a press conference Tuesday, following news last month that Brown had chosen San Antonio as the site for the event, set for April 10, 2022.

What I learned riding with Critical Mass, Houston’s most-hated (and misunderstood) bike ride

Jay R. Jordan | www.chron.com

Hating Critical Mass is easy to do in a city like Houston.

Back on February 23 I wrote 10 Techniques I Used to Bicycle 500 Days in a Row. With today’s ride I’ve added 100 more to that. Quite by accident, coincidence or kismet, the screen shot of the dates (below) was taken with 66% of my phone battery left at 6:00 pm. How cool is that? So yeah, every day for a whole year, seven months and 22 days, I’ve swung a leg over the top tube of Sophie the Fairdale Weekender Archer (and occasionally Sonnie the GT Arette) and pedaled away.

My first time to try the McKinney Wed night ride. I believe this used to be the McKinney Velo ride. Unfortunately I went through a series of pot holes and got a pinch flat and was thus dropped. Fixed my flat and was about to head back the way I came (because I didn’t have the route downloaded). But then the small B group came by and I rode in with them. The bummer is to make that drive and then not get to do the ride.

The best thing about this ride was the rain…

About Rick Ankrum

In 1999 I had a burning desire to create a web site focused on Texas bicycling. Over the years this web site has existed many people have visited. As I think of information I need to bicycle I add them to the web site.
