Visting El Paso
by notyal        forums.mtbr.com
I’m coming to El Paso and bringing the bike. I’ll be there from around June 6-13. I’ve never ridden there. I’m sure I can find a map and make my way solo if I have to, but I am somewhat directionally challenged and would be much more comfortable in a group.

Are there any regular group rides that I could tag along with? Any locals want to show me around? I promise to return the favor if you are ever in Austin.

Faster or slower than me, I don’t really care. I just don’t want to have to spend the night in the desert. I would describe myself as a good rider who loves technical terrain. Most of my rides are 2-3 hours on challenging…

Real Ale Ride 2012 – Helmet Cam!
by jonathanmatina

Here’s a little recap from our pov (helmet/ass/crotch/handlebar cams) of the Real Ale Ride out in Blanco, Texas. If you ever get a chance to ride the Texas Hill Country, do it. The tuneage was inspired by Mike’s reggae-heavy playlist on the ride.

Huge Props to Clarence Muller from Mad Duck Cyclery from the Wheelbrothers!

The Wheelbrothers took the airport route today when 10 miles into the ride a screw on my seat post broke.  At first I just tried to make it through but since we already were in Grapevine we looked for a bike store that was  close.  Mad Duck Cyclery was it.  However, when we got there it was only 9:30 and they don’t open til 10.

Well, out of nowhere Clarence shows up, opens the store for us 30 minutes early and looks if he has the right part.  Since they specialize in Italian beauties and not so much my Specialized we were out…
