SCCCC: Season Opener at Texas A&M University – by Kristen Kjellberg

This weekend the SCCCC gathered for the 14th annual Tunis-Roubaix race, hosted by the Texas A&M Cycling Team near College Station, TX.

The road race Saturday consisted of 12-15 mile loops with each loop containing 3-5 miles of strada bianca, aka “white road” in Italian, or “lots of big rocks” in Aggiespeak.

SXSW by bike (or bike share)
By Pam LeBlanc            Fit City
When SXSW rolls around, a lot of folks grit their teeth. It’s not that they don’t like the music (though I’m sure some don’t) — it’s that headache-inducing traffic.

Hipsters and cars crowd the roadways and finding an empty parking space is like finding a double yolk egg — it’s rare.

My suggestion? …
