Calling all Texas girls!!

Joy, I'm considering doing the 63 mile route. I'm just making sure I can raise the funds for the pledges prior to committing to it. It's not looking too promising so far, I get word back later today.

[amelia05]

yeah, that hasn't been too promising for me either, but I haven't really campaigned much. Since the minimum is $75 (I think including the $25 entry fee, but maybe not), I figure that even if I don't get a lot of pledges I can just put up the other $50 myself. It's a good enough cause, and we try to donate to Komen every year anyway. May as well support another breast cancer charity, too.

But I am hoping to raise funds from other sources, so I suppose I should get working on that.

Is anyone doing the adventure race in The Woodlands on labor day? My husband and I will probably do it as a team. It looks like fun. You bike, run, swim, navigate, and find clues to the mystery questions.

I think I've found a new love! The adventure race was so much fun, I felt like a kid again. It wasn't very long but it was worth doing. Me and my husband laughed a lot, at ourselves and with other people. The race benefited the youth tri team in the woodlands. They will be holding the race again next year and I can hardly wait.

Is there a site that has a list of Texas cycling events? A place I can find out about all the different rides this fall?

[Artisan]

I can share a few links. The last you can do a search for your region/state.

Pooks - try this one, too. A local guy does it and there are reviews of each ride.

Artisan, I saw the stuff on the Adventure Race. I thought it looked like a blast. I wanted to do it with my husband, but never having done it before, I was a little timid. I just didn't know how that kind of thing worked.

When you do the biking part, do you each ride your own bike, or do you share one bike in different parts of the race?

I am a HUGE Amazing Race fan, so I think I would LOVE something like this.

Midget -

Where do you ride? My bf recently moved to Katy, and he (and I) are looking for places to ride. We've ridden with the Mustang/Wood Group MS 150 team for the last couple of years and are somewhat familiar with the area....but we really aren't sure where people put in most of their miles.

I usually ride basically from Katy Mills Mall down to the Fulshear Shell station and back. Of course, sometimes I shake it up a bit and go through Brookshire too. Where in Katy does your bf live? I live in old Katy. Most of the big group rides make a round trip to the Fulshear Shell and back, it just depends on your starting point. Some start on Mason Road and some start at the mall. I think I am going to do a ride with PABadger this Sunday, y'all are welcome to join up! PM me for further details.

Midget,
Thanks! Bf lives and works in the Park Row area. We'll be out of town this weekend and the next, but I'll check in with you for the weekend of the 30th.

Are the Mason Rd starts at Acme?
