Johnson Branch Trail Report
www.texasmountainbiketrails.com

Another piece of gold from a local rider here in DFW, this time Ross Thompson gives his thoughts on the Johnson Branch trail system off of Lake Ray Roberts north of Denton. This is a killer trail up north with beautiful and scenic camping and boating. It also does very well with rain.

The Johnson Branch State Park mountain bike trail is located 25 miles North of Denton, TX on the North side of Lake Ray Roberts. For a detailed trail map, go to:

This heavily treed trail has it all, with beautiful scenery, tight tree-gates, sandy sections in turns, fallen logs, rocky climbs & descents, and climbing switchbacks. The trail will be lots of fun for intermediate and…

Winter Holidays and Over Indulgence
By Ray Garza        RGV Cycling
Winter is upon us and so are the holidays. Since Halloween, the weeks have flown by and now Thanksgiving is knocking at the door. Like everyone else, family comes into town along with cold weather. Food is the comfort for all, including me. This year I don’t want to succumb to the wintry days and the over indulgence on food.
This time around I want to continue my cycling as I chase my 4000 miles for the year.To some, 4000 miles is nothing and to others it’s a huge hill to climb. It’s all relevant to the person putting in the effort. I’m not far away from my goal. As of this posting, I’m less than 300 miles. Old man winter has shown up and has slowed the march to 4k.
This time around I feel that I’m better prepared. I just had two outing’s at 45 F temps that were successful in keeping me warm or at least warm enough. I pulled out my leg…

Houston embraces multi-modal transportation solution
BikeHouston.org
America’s 4th largest city invests in its bicyclists and pedestrians

What does it mean to be multi-modal? For Houston, it means economic opportunity and new construction now…and 7 miles of paths, 10 miles of on-street bikeways, 11 miles of sidewalks, and 6 miles of pedestrian enhancements in the future.

That’s thanks to the city’s “Regional Bike/Pedestrian Connections to Transit” project, which broke ground today. I was in Houston for the event and had the pleasure of…
