Door Zone Warning
Bike Noob
Last week, when I went for a ride against my better judgment and wound up aggravating my bronchitis, I was cruising through a new housing development that still has some construction going on. I saw one of the workers shoulder some tools and head toward the street, so I swerved a bit to my right to avoid him. Just then, the door of a pickup truck on my right opened. I had just a second to swerve back and thread the needle between the tool guy and the door.
I got through that all right, but lots of cyclists get nailed by the opening door. So I was glad to see some new striping go down on streets in my area, with a feature I hadn’t seen before. …
Texas Hell Week!
Cycling for Autism      cyclingforautism.com
We survived Texas Hell Week! Fredericksburg, TX was a gorgeous place to ride, with fantastic roads and (mostly) fantastic weather! Six friends from the Wabash River Cycle Club were also there, which made it even more fun! The first 3 days went great for both of us, but my patellofemoral syndrome kicked in after 12,000 feet of climbing. Despite icing and mega doses of Advil, I wasn’t able to ride thereafter. Craig, on the other hand, had no problems crop up and was able to ride all 6 days (the last 2 days were rained out). So I ended up with ~300 miles, and Craig had ~575 miles. We highly recommend this ride to …

Spring Creek Greenway
Cycling Space City      cyclingspacecity.blogspot.com
North of George Bush Airport in Spring is the Spring Creek Greenway. Currently the Spring Creek Greenway has about 12 miles of shared-use paths with plans to expand even further. The shared-use path along the greenway connects Dennis-Johnston Park, Pundt Park, and Jesse Jones Park. This path is just winding enough to keep a cyclist interested, and even has some small elevation changes. For someone who rides through George Bush Park all the time it is refreshing to have to pay attention to the curves in the road and shift gears occasionally. The …
