Hi-ho folks!
Have recently moved back to Texas and looking for riders. I'm hoping to get in the saddle again (after a multi-year absence) once the temps cool a bit.
Meanwhile, I've been learning golf - yep, out hitting that unforgiving little ball in the 102-110 temps. Yee-hah!
Anyway - any guidance to cycling groups or individuals in the area would be appreciated.
gettin' ready to "cowgirl up" :)

Texas? TEXAS?
//good to know you're still around spazz..
Hi Snap!
Yeah, Texas - 'tis my home state. And I've been away for... nigh onto 30 yrs or so (except visits).
I love the heat (constant this summer) and am getting to spend some much needed time with dad.
So, next year when some of you TE-ers decide to travel to Wichita Falls in August :) for the HHH100, I promise to come cheer you on (unless I'm able to actually get fit for it myself).
xo spazz :)
OK... so have I managed to move to the only county in Texas that has no cyclists?
eeks!
I feel the same way. I often see others out riding, but have yet to actually meet anyone to ride with. I live in Denton/Collin county, but occassionally ride at WhiteRock Lake in Dallas.
Well, cannot offer much help up in Ellis County... but if y'all ever come down to Houston - come say hello! We have many cyclists here :)
I live in Ellis County and have recently taken up cycling. I usually ride by myself, as it's easier for me to hop on my bicycle after I get home from work. I usually just ride the back roads around where I live.
There is an organized bike ride coming up soon. Here's the link, if you're interested.

We need the rain, but jeez :eek:
The rain went away and I was able to get out today... my MMR contact was a really nice guy, as was a friend of his that joined us. It has been a long time since I rode so it was a short one - 16 miles, 46 deg with heavy wind. The route was hillier than I expected but I survived, if not REALLY slowly.
After a hot shower and a nice club salad I feel almost human, though a tad sore.
Will keep you posted on progress...
