End: Winters, Texas
Weather: Cloudy, Afternoon Sun
Miles: 111+
I stayed up past midnight, and continually awoke throughout the night, but I was able to leave just before 8.30am. I stopped in the only grocery store in town to buy drinks/snacks to make it most of the day.
Five miles outside of town, Google Maps suggested I take a road that did not exist. I should be heading northwest. After this, I …
Across Texas and California (Feb 2015)
By Alan Guo      www.crazyguyonabike.com
The last couple days were slow and somewhat mellow. I suddenly realized that I needed to return to the real world, and drastically change my eating habit. There’s a certain longing that comes with this realization, that I have to leave this beautiful area, with all these cool people, and return to the Spindletop inspired region of SE Texas, where cyclists are fewer, drivers are less nice, and people’s general livelihoods are marginalized in favor of the never ending rat race of money making.
I bid farewell to Adrian and his roommates in the afternoon, after downloading some audio books for the train ride the next day. I met a cyclist waiting for the train who’s planning to do a 250 miler from Ventura to San Diego in an organized 17 hour ride. I was leaving my people, but I’ll be back.
My train left San Diego Friday afternoon, arriving at LA in the evening, where I transferred to a different train for Houston. We made a stop in the AM on Saturday in …

Saturday 3/14 and Sunday 3/15 Rides and other news!
by Thomas      steinerranchcycling.com
It looks like the crappy weather may actually be behind us! We will celebrate this weekend with some excellent time together in the saddle.
Saturday March 14 – We will head out to Ronald Reagan for some flat-ish miles. There will be two groups, A and B, and we will depart together. At some point (probably on Ronald Reagan) the A group will take on more miles at a faster pace and split off of the group then rejoin the B group for the return to Steiner. Meet at Cups & Cones for the 8:30 departure.
Sunday March 15 – The Coffee Shop Ride returns! This is a 30 mile relaxed pace ride which includes a stop at a nearby coffee shop for some pastries and socializing. Meet at …
