2013 Bent Wheel Bash – Buck Creek Trails – Abilene, Texas
by Cooper Sellers

March 17, 2013 – Bent Wheel Bash is held at Buck Creek Trails, just north of Abilene, Texas.

The 2013 route was changed dramatically from the Fall 2012 route, with much less elevation change, much less technical features, and more of a wide open hammerfest. …

Mellow Johnny’s Classic – 2013
by Cooper Sellers

March 2, 2013 – Mellow Johnny’s Classic is held at Flat Creek Crossing Ranch, a great trail and race venue near Johnson City, Texas. The course has some technical aspects, a couple of good (for Texas) climbs and some great riding.

My first MTB race was on this course 1 year ago. Through a lot of riding and training, I’ve come a long way from finishing 32nd of 52 last year. …

Madrone Trail
from Turnin’ Cranks

Due to circumstances surrounding kiddos, dance conventions and babysitting, I found myself in the position of being in San Marcos, Texas with a couple of hours to get away from it all. After hunting around and asking for tips, I settled on heading out to the Madrone Trail at Canyon Lake Park.

Big Bend second thoughts
from Bike Forums by raybo
It is less than a month before I leave on my next bike tour and I am having second thoughts about the destination I’ve chosen.

At present, I am planning on flying into Midland, TX, busing over to Alpine and then ride a loop down to Big Bend National Park and then back to Alpine (bus, plane back home) via the Rio Grande, Presidio, and Marfa. Since I will be riding in late April, I assume the temperatures will be in the 80s or higher and there could be some vicious wind. I look everyday at the Alpine forecast and there is always wind, usually 20+ MPH. Usually it is from the SW, where Big Bend is relative to Alpine. Though, since it is a loop, one direction’s headwind is another’s tailwind.

I’ve been thinking that this is a ride to do earlier in the year and wondering if a ride from, say, Austin to New Orleans would be any better. Or, for that matter, from Midland to…
