Day Twenty Four | March 23, 2021
Fredericksburg, TX to Austin, TX
We had a thunderstorm last night, but today was sunny, warm and not windy! We are still in “Hill Country“, but it is our last day of over 80 miles and over 4,000ft of elevation! We got our new jerseys last night.
Elli’s super friend and guide, Susan, from Austin, joined us from Fredericksburg today. She knows the area well and just loves the camaraderie of a group ride. Though we are still in the “Hill Countryâ€, where there is plenty of the beautiful limestone rocks, the trees are green here because …

Day 6 – Johnson City: The Battle of the 1800’s
Monday March 29, 2021, 44 miles (70 km) – Total so far: 252 miles (406 km)
It was 39F in Fredericksburg at sunrise this morning. Got up just after sunrise and started getting packed up.

After breakfast it had started to warm up so I was able to start removing layers.
Today’s ride was mostly on ranch roads. Still has climbs today but not as steep as previous days climbs but some how managed to climb 1900 feet today. During the first 25 miles must of seen 1800 feet elevation at least 5 or 6 times. I would climb to over …

Day 18 – El Paso, TX to Ft. Hancock, Tx
Monday March 29, 2021, 61 miles (98 km) – Total so far: 907 miles (1,460 km)
Our first chore this morning was to get through El Paso and its environs. Most of us rode in small groups to help each other navigate and to make ourselves look big. I rode sweep in one group because I’m not particularly bothered by traffic. …

Day 29: Rest Day #2 in Austin
Monday March 29, 2021
Rest Day #2 in Austin, TX … was a day of walking around downtown … a quick stop at Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop where Lance Armstrong was part owner back in the day, then onto the infamous 6th Street where all the cool cats hang out, so we moved along … then it was time to get some Texas BBQ at Terry Blacks and the brisket was as good as they are known for. Then it was zipping around on some of the …

1/5 When you read @rgvmpo's ATP 'Vision for the future' ("world class facilities for active transportation"), you expect bike freeways, tunnels, bridges and boulevards. World class facilities are the opposite of the current situation, so let us start with this idea for Weslaco: pic.twitter.com/1oGiikUed5

Crazy race day on Sunday @Texashsmtb with lightning interrupting the race. We had a re-start 4 hours later with a shortened race, and I pulled out the win in a sprint finish, and kept the leader's jersey!#NICA #morekidsonbikes #texasmtbhttps://t.co/y2Pb2xS4G8 pic.twitter.com/Lmt24T24lv

Wore my cycling hat to work and 2 people asked me what kind of hat I had and 1 had no idea what was on my head. I wonder how many are curious to ask. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/sQ35IDf9zQ

Finally reclaiming the figure 8 trail and turning it into Carnage. Some trail designs take time to come to be and others get approved in snap depending on many factors. Plenty of room to grow. #moretrailsclosertohome #allvolunteerorganization #trailbuilding #nonprofit pic.twitter.com/qnkPdzeNgI

311 is frustrating…they closed my request to fix this dangerous gap in the Columbia Tap Trail several times because I guess I reported in the wrong category (though no trail option) and they don’t have enough information to address (thought this photo was pretty obvious). pic.twitter.com/r8SSHKDEQB

Fransisco flew up from Mexico to buy this Pivot Cycles Firebird. These bikes have been incredibly popular and hard to come by, but we had what Fransisco was interested in. What a rad bike!#TexassPremierBikeShop #DestinationShop #LBS #PivotCycles #Firebird #MTB #Enduro pic.twitter.com/yxREsgnCnl
