COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Current and former students from the University of Texas hit the road early Tuesday morning to continue their travel for Texas 4000.

The group’s next stop is Houston, then will eventually head up to the Midwest and the East Coast before coming back to Austin.

The local Brazos Valley Texas Exes Chapter hosted the team last night with a meal and in area homes before they set out this morning.

Texas 4000 participants travel through Bryan-College Station

By CHELSEA KATZ | theeagle.com

University of Texas students who are part of the Texas 4000 cycling program stopped in Bryan and College Station for a night as their 4,000-mile journey through the eastern United States got underway.

Typically, the ride — which is in memory and in support of those battling cancer — would take the cyclists from Austin to Anchorage, Alaska, but this year’s routes are limited because the Canadian border is closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Texas 4000 rider and recent UT graduate Karen Liu said. Last year’s physical summer ride was canceled due to the pandemic.

All riders were required to…

By Madeline Ottilie | kvia.com

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — It has been just about a year since bike shops nationwide saw shelves cleared and inventory drop. Now, some business owners say shortages still have not stopped.

U.S. Census data shows more Americans have been riding bikes during the pandemic too and prices have gone up. Researchers cite increased popularity and limited supply.

Roberto Barrio, the owner of El Paso’s Crazy Cat Cyclery shop, said his store has had difficulty securing accessories and parts for repairs and service. New bikes, he said, are just trickling in.

“If they’re not on a waiting list then they’re going to be waiting til there’s open inventory,” Barrio said. “I think that’s going to …

Hoodoo-Like Cairn Leads Us To Circle Trail End

Durango Texas | durangotexas.blogspot.com

I came to the end of the trail, today. The Circle Trail, that is.

I dropped off an elderly senior citizen for an appointment with one of his doctors, and then drove to the east Circle Trail access to the Wichita Bluff Nature Area, unloaded my bike, and rolled its wheels for a few kilometers.

About halfway through the WB Nature Area I came upon the tallest Hoodoo-like Cairn I have yet seen at this location.

I got off the bike to …
