Texas hall of fame adds Amarillo BMX champ
By RUSSELL ANGLIN        amarillo.com

For BMX champion Danny Wall, competing in his sport of choice can be a nerve-racking ordeal. But if all goes well, he said, the rewards more than make up for the anxiousness felt before the starting gate drops.
“A lot of times when you do OK, it takes two or three days to come down from being so excited and happy, even though you’re exhausted,” he said.
Wall, a 49-year old remodeling contractor, was inducted Saturday into the…

New Shop in The Woodlands/Houston called Cycles TX (Santa Cruz, Niner, Giant, Surly)
by Blk02        forums.mtbr.com/texas

I found a new shop in The Woodlands, TX that just opened called Cycles TX. They carry a few brands that I have not seen in the Houston area before. I only ride mountain bikes so I am not sure what road brands they carry, but several of the road bikes were over 15k and one of them in the front window was around 26k . It also looks like they carry a full line of Enve products. I saw several Enve stems out on display and a lot of Enve boxes in the back. The shop is open but I don’t think they have had their grand opening yet. They are across the street from…

…American Lawson Craddock, the 18th starter, set the early fast time and his mark of 51:31.35 held up until Paillot blasted over the line 52 minutes later. Craddock went on to finish fifth.

Craddock: Time to put the work to good use in Florence
By Gregor Brown

FLORENCE, Italy (VN) — American Lawson Craddock stormed through the 2013 season, signed a professional contract with Argos-Shimano, and placed fifth on Monday in the under-23 time trial at the UCI Elite Road World Championships. For Craddock (Bontrager), however, the true objective is Friday’s hilly road race in Florence, Italy.
“I’m not disappointed with today at all,” Craddock said on Monday. “I’m happy with it, but I do have a lot more to give, I can tell you that.”
The 21-year-old Texan, the 19th starter in Monday’s U23 contest, led the time trial after clocking a 51:31.35 in the 42.7-kilometer time trial. Craddock watched his name slowly move down the…

Interbike Dirt Demo 2013 Recap
by Shawn McAfee            www.texasmountainbiketrails.com

This is by far the coolest event I have ever participated in. So many bikes to ride and so little time. I was able to test ride 13 different bikes for a total of 42ish miles of singletrack over 2 days. Besides being beat I definitely was able to notice a lot of really interesting trends and learned a lot about the bikes overall.

First up, here is a list of all 13 bikes I demo’d at the 2013 Interbike Dirt Demo with a notation of (H) for hardtail, (FS) for Full Suspension, (C) for Carbon, (S) for steel and (A) for…

Catharsis abated.
BikeDenton
Sometime during the weekend around May graduation, my Schwinn Tourist was stolen off my front porch.

It was not a spectacular bike in any semblance of the word, and when Howard handed BikeDenton to Devin and I last year upon his ceremonious exit from our beloved Denton, I quietly felt sheepish about riding on such lowly a frame while writing in this space. Foolish, I know.

But this bike was a dear friend to me; my loyal steed throughout my collegiate career at UNT. To have it just disappear from my home at the point my studies were over and degree completed seemed oddly unfitting. I followed all the right procedures, filed the right police reports, and patiently waited, hoping to hear something… anything…
