9th training ride, B-geO Magnolia Miles
Sat 3-14 B-geO Chariety Ride I took this ride to avoid going to the Katy training ride put on by the CVX group. I hate that route and won’t do it again. So I plunked down the $25 for the charity ride out in the Montgomery area. I was going to be riding by myself. [...]

6th training ride. Brookshire/Bellville
The ride for the day seem to start off fine. For many of these rides, I have to drive out of Houston, usually about an hour. Today I really noticed the wind pushing my car around on the freeway. It was overcast, without any real signs of rain. I thought that well, at least it [...]

3rd training ride.
Another beautiful morning for a ride. Started out at the Katy Highschool and road out to monaville. This is NOT my fav ride. I actually don’t like the first leg of this trip. The second part is alright and it is what we did for the second training ride. This time my friend Mike was [...]
2nd training ride.
This was the second training ride of the year for me. I was by myself and rode about 40 miles in about 2hrs 23 mins. It was chilly! Turned out to a really beautiful day though. The massage afterwards by Kinetic Bodyworks was awesome. Angela and Cheryl are great ladies. If you need massage they [...]

Barrelled out those miles with a pretty easy to follow loop trail. Lots of people showed, many bailed before the [...]
