THE BIKE RIDE ACROSS TEXAS: A LEARNING LABORATORY

Coleman Patterson, Ph.D. www.wheelbrothers.com


As a management and leadership professor, I am constantly looking for ways for my students to implement and practice the theories and principles that they read about and study in class.
Simulations, case studies, group projects, various types of research proposals, internships, and experiential learning activities are typical methods used by educators in my field. Most of those techniques are limited in their effectiveness—because many tend to be short-term, lack realism, require minimal buy-in and involvement, allow for free-riders, and incur a relatively low cost of failure. The challenge for …

Day 4: Oak Thicket Park to Giddings, TX
Tuesday March 8, 2016, 31 miles (50 km) – Total so far: 152 miles (245 km)
I walked around the park and looked at the water. It is really nice here. There is lots of green grass and fishing. Last night I worked on the blog in my shelter, then ran over to the office under the tree to steal wifi to upload it to crazyguy. There was a lot of wind, but I was just fine in that shelter.
I started out around 10am since it wasn’t raining so much. I was extremely visible today. Bright rain jacket, front and rear blinky. I was originally going to Nails Creek State Park but these storms are supposed to be bad. I Googled a route to Giddings to get a hotel. Google did a great route in the beginning! There were quiet country roads that were paved. With about 17 miles left, my luck ran out. I hit dirt roads and the rain started coming down pretty well. I have slicks on my bike, so I was slipping and sliding everywhere. There were a lot of drilling rigs, meter sites, and compressor stations on …
