45 Miles – Bicycling On The Wide Open West Texas Plains; Hosted By Kennedy Family In Ackerly, TX – March 9, 2011
Shocked at the expensive rates from two nights in motels in Artesia, NM and Seminole, TX, I was quite upset. I faced the reality that the cheapest motel rooms across the country were rarely under $50. $50-$60 was the norm, with an occasional cheap, no-frills place for $40-$45, if I was lucky.

I recounted how I had gotten to this point: I worked and saved as much as I could. I raised money before and during the ride. And there was no question in my heart, mind and soul that I was called to do this ride. Still, the financial matter…

Hercules on Two Wheels

Why isn’t the Tour de France in America? I mean, besides the obvious fact that the French started it 108 years ago and it takes place over three weeks through roughly 2,000 miles of countryside there. Hear me out.
I know, bicycles are “alternative transportation.” They are the puerile, pedal-powered playthings of likely unshaven, eccentric malcontents and ne’er-do-wells who refuse to grow up and accept the internal combustion engine. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Paul Revere’s Ride was all about protecting…

About 35 students have joined the team to date, and more registrations are expected. Brad Didier, chemistry teacher at Huntsville High School, said he wanted to introduce students to a lifelong love of cycling.

“I got attracted first to the mission,” Didier said, of the Texas High School Mountain Bike League. “They want to provide students who have desire to mountain bike with coaching and…
