When it comes to being outside, many are trying to avoid it thanks to the Texas heat. However, cycling has its perks and you can create your own breeze while still enjoying the outdoors.
A report from betterhealth.gov explained how there are many positive benefits that come from cycling. The activity can help protect you from serious diseases such as stroke, heart attack, some cancers, depression, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis. It’s also healthy, fun, and something all ages can join in on.
In San Antonio, I asked some cyclists in Facebook groups where they like to bike in San Antonio. It can be …

This is my favorite century route, but it is much more fun in October or March! Today was a war of attrition in the heat. I lived to fight another day, so that means I won. Slowly getting back to where I want to be.

Skyline? Not today…
Brent Wells | strava.com
I hadn’t been feeling good earlier in the week, and thought I was pretty much over it. Apparently not.???? #Pops ran my Padrona Rossa in to Bicycle Heaven yesterday so that #VicMaitland Wrong Greg could replace the S-Works Power saddle with an identical saddle that had titanium rails. The plan was to hit Skyline Drive today, but by the time I got there, there was no way, so I rolled on to the Shell station. I basically did my usual long loop in reverse. Very thankful to Jesse Cortinas – Blitz Racing for organizing this ride, and also to Dina & Brian Christal for waiting for me near the end. As always, I am very thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for allowing me to return to this sport that I love and for another safe ride with great friends!

Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to take back the streets.
(We USED to meet on the last Friday of every month (holiday or not, rain or shine) at 5:00pm (with wheels down at about 5:30pm) on the UT West Mall where it meets Guadalupe (between 22nd & 23rd Streets).
We will NOW meet at the pedestrian bridge that parallels Lamar and head out around 6:30pm — still the last Friday of each month, however.
Participation will vary a LOT as this is a comeback from the original Critical Mass/Critical Mass in Austin. There have been as few as two riders and as many as hundreds. "Typical" was 50 or 60. Let’s see if we …
