Anthony and McDonald Win at Dallas Resolution CX, Both Taking Much Different Paths: Brief Report

Andrew Reimann        www.cxmagazine.com


Although the official reports are not yet in, it looks as if Crystal Anthony (Optum p/b Kelly Benefit) was able to use her experience of the deep mud in Europe to propel herself to a big win today at Dallas Resolution CX. This is her second UCI win of the season, the first coming at NBX, where in the same situation, she was fresh off the European racing scene.
Of the four World Cup stages Anthony was present form she consistently finished in the top 25. She finished ahead of Amanda Miller (Boulder Cycle Sport/YogaGlo), who with the second place on the day now has stood on the …

how much does it cost to ride cross country

by spectastic        www.bikeforums.net

I want to do a 2100 mile trip from the TX/LA border to San Francisco. I want to be as light as possible, so I’ll probably only bring a backpack of clothes and a tooth brush. I would like to knock out around 100 miles a day, and then take a greyhound back. I will look at warm showers, but I don’t expect to get 100% success with it. So that will mean hotels or rest stops, because I don’t want to bring a tent (maybe a sleeping bag if it’s quiet and dry.) As for food, 100 miles/day would mean I need to consume about 5-6000 cal/day, meaning I would probably spend a lot of time at cici’s pizza buffet section.
Here’s my estimate after some crude assumptions:
$350 on hotels (assuming I have to spend 7 days paying for a low budget $50/night hotel)
$315 on food (assuming $15/day for 5 clif bars, a good breakfast, and a $6.99 buffet at cici’s)
$100 on the bus ride back, seeing the countryside
$400 on hookers and blow (just kidding)
~$800 on the trip, what do you think?
This is just a tentative plan. I’m not totally committed yet. Can someone who’s done this before …

Please Come To Texas

by Sky King        biketouringnews.com


In 2010 The Bike Hermit took his first bike jaunt in Texas.  Titled Texas Buckaroos, his adventure is well chronicled on crazyguyonabike.com.  Since then, I have heard about his trip pretty much Every Single Day; how amazing this part of Texas is, how friendly the people are, how we need to move to Texas, how Boise is actually hotter and colder than Alpine – you name it, I’ve heard it.  Being who I am,  my initial reaction was there is no way I am moving to Texas.  Those who know me know that  I tend to balk when others rave about certain places or things – yes even when The …

2015 Cyclocross Nationals Race Course Preview

The Radavist        theradavist.com

It’s not every year that the USA Cycling Cyclocross Nationals land in your backyard. Over the past few days, the crews here in Austin have been mapping out the course, staking turns and building lots of the additions to the otherwise rough and rocky limestone outcroppings.
There are a number of places where you’ll be able to gain momentum, until it ends abruptly with sharp turns and muddy corners. The course is soaking wet today, but it’s not supposed to rain anymore until Saturday. Right now, it looks like it’ll be a blast, especially going down the main hill before the uphill barriers.
I swung by today after a ride and shot a few quick photos, after pre-riding most of …

About Rick Ankrum

In 1999 I had a burning desire to create a web site focused on Texas bicycling. Over the years this web site has existed many people have visited. As I think of information I need to bicycle I add them to the web site.
