Lake Houston Lookout: Spotting Cyclists on an Early Morning Route 6/15/2024
Surprised myself by starting the bike ride at 8:09 AM; earliest start this week. I wanted to get to FM1960 where I begin seeing other cyclists on Saturday. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike on what I call the Atascocita - Huffman - Walden route but that name covers many route differences. I changed the streets until about ... read more at www.texbiker.net/blog/2024/06/15/lake-houston-lookout-spotting-cyclists-on-an-early-morning-route/

Navigating Tavola: A Refreshing Ride. Flag Day 6/14/2024
Переглядів 182 години тому
A northerly ride to Tavola took me through several Kingwood villages, Woodridge Forest, Brooklyn Trails, Porter, and New Caney. Riding on Via Principale Parkway I turned right onto Gran Roble Drive to explore the side streets. I last rode the New Caney - Tavola - Valley Ranch route on May 8th, 2024. I didn't think it had been that long ago. No home construction on the streets I rode in Tavola. ...

    How do you like your Helix? I just ordered one. What group did you get? Is your free hub loud or is it just the recording?

    • @RickAnkrum
      @RickAnkrum 3 дні тому

      Thanks for watching and asking. I like the Helix. Since I bought it I added another bike to my fleet and that bumped the Helix down to #3 on my preference list: #1 Cervelo Caledonia, #2 Canyon Endurace CF7, #4 Trek Marlin 8 MTB. I got the SRAM Rival AXS etap group which I have on the Cervelo and Canyon. I really like electronic shifting. I added the Rival Power Meter crankarm and ICAN Cycling Alpha 46 carbon wheels. The freewheel is noisy but I tune it out now. I have the same wheels on the Cervelo and Canyon. The Helix feels harsh when I ride over rough roads compared to the carbon framed Cervelo and Canyon. There is a street with about 100 feet of rough cobbles that I use to compare the road absorption. The Helix weighs about 4 pounds more than those bikes too. The harsh ride and extra weight are the reasons it is #3. I've put 4246 miles on it. I wanted to experience a titanium frame bike. I also owned a Lynskey R300 with Ultegra mechanical groupset. I sold it and bought the Helix. Enjoy your new bike. Let know what you think of the Helix.

    Until I got into my 60's (I'm now 72) I used to do a lot of riding on roads like you do (lived in Austin from 1973 until 2020). I now do most of my riding on local hike/bike trails (mostly paved) in the Pflugerville area where I live. As I've gotten older, I still love cycling but no longer ride road bikes. I prefer mountain bikes (I have both a full suspension and two hard tails) and my crank forward semi-recumbent bicycle I bought last year from Phoenix Bike Wrx. These bikes use MTB tires, which are less susceptible to flats. They aren't as fast as road bikes, but I'm okay with that these days. I just want them to work well, and to provide a good workout without the incessant worry of dealing with motor traffic. Be careful out there!

      I have thought about tubeless. Maybe when these tires wear out. They are not maintenance free though from I read. Change the sealant in 6 months, keep the valve stem from clogging. The recent run of flats started when a sharp rock caused a flat. Before that flats rarely happened.

      Glad you enjoyed the ride. The trail may not have existed back in the 90's. It is about as flat as you can get except for the railroad overpass.

    You were in my neck of the woods ! The wind was brutal today . Going south on that over pass must of been a heck of a workout . 😧💨💨🚴🏼

      It was hard work. I got out of the saddle going about 9 mph up over. The let down was pedaling down into the wind to keep moving.😂

    I was one of the 100 milers. I finished in 5hr 21 min with a avg speed of 18.7mph. The weather couldn’t be any more perfect! Wind did pick up on the home stretch but I’m not complaining. It could’ve been much stronger! Lol Next event for me will be the 7th annual resaca city bike tour-62 miles! March 16th San Benito. Hope to see you there!

      Great ride on the 100 miles. Yes, I rode the Jalapeno 100 when the wind was stronger. Have a great ride in San Benito. I'll be back in Houston. Thanks for the information about the Resaca City Bike Tour. I added to the event calendar at Texbiker.net

    Good stuff , buddy . I rode the 100 miler at the Jalapeño this morning . But didn’t get much video . Thanks for posting this footage. The winds picked significantly on the home stretch . The morning was perfect . This was my first century and did it in 6hrs and 11 minutes . Not the fastest, but my kids and wife were impressed . Lol ! God bless. 💨🚴🏼🙏🏼
