Calling all Texas girls!!

[Artisan]

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?

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.

This race we both had to ride separate bikes and stay within five feet of each other during every aspect of the race. I had an issue at the beginning with the running, didn't have my inhaler with me so we were last at the finish of the run. During the biking sections of it is where we excelled, we moved up 37 positions from last place, we finished 10th of 47 teams. You would have done great with your running training you have been doing, no need to have been timid. There was nothing too serious about this race, it was all about laughing and having fun! There were a few parent/child teams as it was family orientated.

My husband is also a big amazing race fan, so much that he has searched the web trying to find out how to get on the show.

I rode the Paws and Puddles ride today. Was anyone else there?
