LBJ 100 Volunteers Needed
URGENT:Â We have lost a couple of Traffic Directors and SAG (Support and Gear) Drivers for our LBJ 100 on March 26. These are key positions on
this event. If you have a vehicle (SUV or pick-up) that could be used as a SAG vehicle for hauling bike riders back to a marshaling point, please call Nolan Kuehn (210-355-2645 or email mailto:nolank@gvtc.com) to volunteer, or get more info. He would love to talk to you. Traffic Directors will be stationed at key turn points, directing certain riders when and where they should make their turns. Once the riders have passed that point, the Traffic Directors job is finished. He/she can then concentrate on eating the Kiolbassa sausage to be served at the post-ride meal.

from Bike Denton by bikedenton
I recently went to Austin for the sixth annual NAHBS, the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. It was a hyper-sensory experience that no blog post, video, or photo gallery could synthesize.

Me and the Bike and the World
By Amy Dolejs, On Twitter @luv2bike
It feels like being alive.
On the days I’m lucky enough to have no after-work appointments, no meetings for which I have to look spiffier than I can manage with baby wipes, I get on my bike at 5:30 a.m. and ride the 9.5 miles to work. …
La Primavera – Lago Vista Race Report
from Mike’s Bike Blog
Saturday
The stage was set for an epic race and for some it probably was. You see the temperature at the 8am start was right around freezing and the clouds looked threatening. The start of the 35+ 4/5 race was with dry roads except for one puddle but that soon changed after lap 1 when the heavens opened and it started to rain. Our pace wasn’t going to set…
