A grand opening is planned for the 150th anniversary of Texarkana’s founding in December 2023.

“Its named as such because of the beauty of the wonderful hills in East Texas, but the beast is always that final hill climb that everybody has to do that they love and hate at the same time,” said Bill Lewis, the president of The Tyler Bicycle Club.
He said he got on a bike 10 years ago, joined the bicycle club, beat cancer, and eventually became the president of the club.

Today has been the first day in a couple months which has not been extremely windy.
I do not like riding a bike when the wind gusts over 40 mph, which has been the case, of late.
So, on this second Saturday of the 2022 version of May, with the outer world almost in dead calm mode, I let my bike take me on a ride today.
We rolled north on the Circle Trail to Hamilton Park, where a couple kids were …

#gravellocos was fun. The only problem was I had two flats, got lost about 4 times, leg cramps, and ran out of water. Still had plenty of fun though. And it was hot as hell. But I’m still here to tell you my story ???????????????????????? pic.twitter.com/ATJOOq5Acp

It’s one of the only sports that truly supports parity of the genders. Men and women race together and share the stage equally AND us amateurs race the same courses the pros do. I was able to meet some pros this weekend and they were all humble and down to earth. pic.twitter.com/rxxRw7Stla

We biked down 11th street for @Htx4Ukraine on our way to @urbansouth_htx. Great group, great brewery, terrible street. Glad to know that the city has plans to make it safer. https://t.co/4P88kXuJ2L

Today I rode Beauty and the Beast in Tyler, TX. 62 hilly miles in 90° heat. I haven’t ridden in these conditions in quite some time. But personal growth never happens if we stay in our comfort zone. You can always give a little more. Just one more mile. Just one more hill. pic.twitter.com/Hgbq1duaov
