by bjtesch            www.bikeforums.net
Today being Thursday Aug. 16, the msn.com 10-day weather forecast extends through Sat. Aug. 25 and has a high temp that day of 93F. I realize that anything can happen between now and then and the forecast can change 10 times, but 93F would be a good temperature for a century day. It is certainly much better than what it could be. …

Hottest Day of the Year Bike Ride set for Aug. 25
By Pam LeBlanc            Fit City
Cyclists can embrace the heat during the Hottest Day of the Year Bike Ride on Aug. 25.

The ride, scheduled to start at 2 p.m. at Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop, 400 Nueces Street, will cover 10 to 15 miles, with a midway stop at a public pool for a quick cooldown.

The ride, organized by Bike Austin, is designed to show commuters on how to safely, successfully bike even in triple-digit temperatures. All skill levels are welcome, and Mellow Johnny’s will provide on-call maintenance support.

“Experienced riders in Austin have dealt with hot weather, and know what to do before, during and after a ride to make it a better experience,” said Tom Wald, executive director of Bike Austin, formerly…

Wald hails from Minneapolis, MN, so he’s used to biking in extreme conditions, albeit on the opposite spectrum.

“My hometown sees temperatures from -40 to +110.  I wanted to push myself to bike in these conditions,” he says. “I found that in the end, these…

Interesting to ride lake’s bottom but prefer not to
By Bill Cullins            www.gosanangelo.com
SAN ANGELO, Texas — I recently organized a mountain bike expedition tasked with finding water in the Middle Concho River channel of Twin Buttes Reservoir.

We didn’t find much.

In fact, the majority of that expedition’s ride took place on parched dirt that should be underwater at Twin Buttes.

It was interesting to ride the lake’s bottom, but here’s hoping that big rains come soon and we have a long…
