The right bike fit can make all the difference.
The devil is in the details, they say –– and for bicycle racers, those details and that devil can be maddening. Now that road season is nearing full swing, everyone’s paying attention to those details again. Since the sport of cycling is measured in the smallest of increments, from the weight of a wheelset to the height of the seat, racers want to make sure their equipment is not only the best quality, but also set up properly in order to help them perform at their best.
But what about the racer’s own body? How well does the racer fit the bicycle?
Simply put and quite obviously said, because the power comes from the racer himself, the racer must be in the most ideal position in order to be as efficient as possible and …

OTC Kickoff Dinner 2/26/15

Sunday Rides-Winter/Spring 2015** @ Intersection of Sparta Rd & FM 439

W.O.W Central Texas

Mar 1 @ 1:33 pm – Jun 21 @ 6:33 pm
Sunday 2015 Winter/Spring  RIDE TIME!!    Rides will take off at 1:33Pm  sharp!!  Be prepared! Have your tires pumped up, your helmet snapped on, and be ready to roll out!
We start from the intersection of FM 439 and Sparta Road for an out-and-back total of 27-30 miles with smooth road, rolling hills, and minimal (and usually polite) traffic. Ride the whole distance or, if you are a beginner, go whatever distance you are comfortable with and then turn around and go back to the start. You will find that you can ride farther and have more fun when you have someone else riding with you, so we try to put riders in pairs/groups so no one rides alone.  Bring a change of clothes if you would like to hang with the  WOW’s  after the ride at Dead Fish Grill.

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.
