Video: ‘I was left for dead’: Bicyclist recovering after being hit by pickup truck in Fort Bend County

Sabirah Rayford | www.click2houston.com

FORT BEND COUNTY – A west Houston bicyclist said he’s lucky to be alive after he was hit by a pickup truck and allegedly left for dead on Thursday.

The incident happened on FM 1489 near Hunt and Vernon Frost Road in Fort Bend County around 4:30 p.m.

Ankur Wadhwa said the sounds of nature and the countryside views are what brought him to the area 20 times a month for the past 12 years.

“To get away from everything and enjoy the country and to enjoy nature,” he said.

On Thursday, he said his …

FNR – RoY Finals

Fri 1st October

Final FNR Ranking

Robert Bodamer (M40+) and Zaira Estrada (W4) were both confirmed as deserving RoY winner before racing started based on who registered meaning neither could be overtaken on the night.

Men’s Cat 4

3 riders had a chance on the night, Christian Bech looked good for most of the Scratch race until his daring breakaway was caught right at the end by Robin Carrera who put himself in pole position however it was Sebastian Bech who came back to win the final 2 races and in doing so took the omnium and the RoY!

Elite Men

The 3 RoY contenders were all caught watching each other in race 1 as Darby Deming and Zach Ross took as lap and finish in 1st and 2nd respectively. Race 2 saw the RoY leader Cason Hewgley on the wrong end of some bad luck resulting in him crashing out of the race and ultimately contention for the RoY prize. John Martin was the rider to capitalize winning the elimination. Said Assali fought hard in the points race with the RoY decided in the final sprint, while Said won the final points John was able to hold off Stuart Gardner to pick up the 4 points he needed to edge Said’s out by 32 to 31. This meant Said only got 7 omnium points instead of the 10 for winning and therefore finished 3rd on the night 2 points behind Darby. This all meant that John takes over his wife, Tracy’s, #1 bib for 2022!

Juniors

Elijah swept the night and came out victorious again despite being pushed hard by Gabi, Tegan and Isaiah who all picked up a 2nd places. Tegan missing out in the final race by only 1 point after leading into the final sprint! Ryan and Josh both put on relentless fireworks with some closely fought races between each other!

The Attack Of The 20 Foot Weeds On Wichita Falls Circle Trail

Durango Texas | durangotexas.blogspot.com

Yesterday I biked the Wichita Bluff Nature Area. During that bike ride I saw tall weeds like you see above, but did not feel like stopping to photo document them. I wasn’t in the mood to do such. Even when a snake slithered across my path I did not feel like stopping to photo document it.

Today my bike took me on the Circle Trail, north of Hamilton Park, where eventually the trail once again runs alongside Holliday Creek. As the trail nears Holliday Creek a forest of those same type weeds I saw yesterday almost takes over the trail.

And today I did feel like …
