Texas Bicycling Action July 23rd 2022
Tour de Gap cyclists aimed to beat the clock, beat the heat

BUFFALO GAP – In a bike race, the quicker you get done, the better you place.
But even if you’re not racing – say, enjoying a ride with a buddy or your child – it still paid to get done quickly Saturday.
You beat the heat.
About 250 bicycle riders took part in the 39th annual Tour de Gap, covering distances ranging from 11 miles to 100K (62 miles). Riders rolled from the Old Settlers Reunion Grounds starting at 7:30 a.m., when the temperature was only in the low 80s.

Library’s New Book Bike Revealed
www.cowtx.org
Join the Watauga Public Library (7109 Whitley Road) on Thursday, July 28th from 10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. in celebration of the end of the Summer Reading Club and the launch of the library’s new book bike.
The event will feature the unveiling of our new book bike, a superhero meet-and-greet, games, door prizes, cake, and free lunch from In-N-Out Burger from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. while supplies last.
An exciting addition to library outreach, the book bike will be used to get out into the community, visiting local parks, sharing library materials and information. The bike will provide a creative way to connect with people outside of the physical library.
The end-of-summer-reading event on July 28th is free. All are welcome to attend! Call 817.514.5866 for more information.
This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (Grant #CAP-22032) to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. (2021)

Chasing The Grey Ghost, The Stallion, & Jacob
Brent Wells | strava.com
It goes without saying that any ride with Jeff, Jacob, and Mark is insanely hard for me! I’m just thankful I can go, and can at least hang on for the most part. I actually felt fairly strong today.??????? It was great to see some old friends at the QT station like Robert Dickerson & David Fluchel! As always, I am most thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for allowing me to return to this sport that I love so much, and for yet another safe ride.

Kiet to Lake Houston Ride

Trains, broken hubs, and flavor-dration. Houston cycling is great! Lots of support when your fellow rider’s freehub breaks. Still managing 20-21 mph.
