Chad Haga Giro Journal: Fastest bike-path ride ever (Texas biker
by Chad Haga velonews.competitor.com
Editor’s note: Giant-Alpecin’s Chad Haga will be providing regular updates from the Giro d’Italia this May.
A probably fictional meeting of the Giro d’Italia organizers, date and location unknown:
“Alright, guys, we’re here to determine the perfect start for the next Giro. Last year was in Ireland, but for 2015 I want to start in Italy with a quintessentially Italian Grande Partenza. What have you got?â€

by Maria Cortes Gonzalez El Paso Times
It’s been more than 50 years since Jesuit priest Father Haroldo Rahm cruised the streets of Segundo Barrio on his bicycle, stopping to talk to people in the neighborhood or reach out to gang members.
Rahm, now 95, will return to El Paso next week to a huge welcome.
The stories of Rahm’s influence on people, especially the youngsters, are so vivid today that it seems like he never left.
“He had so much charisma. He was humble and genuine ….. and he went around the neighborhood identifying issues.

Over a year ago I rode with a friend. He crashed right in front of me and destroyed three of his spinal cord disks.
— Bryan Beresford (@Bercycle) May 10, 2015
The doctors said he would never walk again, and just today I learned he had a 100% recovery with new synthetic technology.
— Bryan Beresford (@Bercycle) May 10, 2015
I just about cried out of happiness – I felt so responsible since I led that ride. He's even riding again. I am just overjoyed
