…lung searing, leg cramping, blurry visioned, splendor of Louisian’s most iconic race, Rouge Roubaix.
Michael Pincus, 21, is a junior at the University of Houston, studying electrical engineering. He is a former professional cyclist, and the captain of Super Squadra’s under-23 and junior development team, the Super JETS. He lives in Pearland, Texas.
Roubaix. The mention alone conjures images of heroic battles between the best cyclists in the world and the oldest and most historic roads in Europe.
Rouge Roubaix, however, is not Europe. It is not northern France, or Flanders.
It is Francisville, Louisiana, a small town north of Baton Rouge, set amidst eerie swamps and …

by Claudio Cossio      blog.mapillary.com
We had quite a weekend in Austin with lots of events going on and the chance to meet some great people.
Our panel at SXSW which you can find out at #QuantWorld in Twitter, went really well and the people woke up early (9:30am) to see the discussion around Quantifying Our World Through Open Platforms. There was a sold out crowd, so happy to make the trip to Austin and be part of a …

“No. That just made it worse,†she said. “You’re staying off the bike until you get rid of this.â€

Saturday 3/21 and Sunday 3/22 Rides: Inside and BEEF Team Training Ride!
by Thomas      steinerranchcycling.com
Well there is currently a 100% chance of rain on Saturday so the club ride looks busted. If by some miracle we have a good weather window, just show up at Cups & Cones at the usual 8:30am and we will figure something out.
Sunday is looking pretty good still! Hopefully everyone in SRC is registered for the Tour de Cure in September on the BEEF Team. This is a favorite SRC charity ride and is for a great cause. Ride distances include 10, 20, 35, 50, or 2 day options up to 200 miles. Something for everyone! Sunday is the first of a monthly series of training rides and will offer ride …
