Yeah, I noticed that Beeville should have probably been Bellville but I just did a copy & paste. Or, someone was making a reference to the Bike to the Beach MS150 where the overnight is in Beeville ... not sure which!

I also saw two unicyclists this year & a couple of rollerbladers. The thing that took the cake though were the guys pulling their dogs in trailers! This one guy was pulling what had to be a 80 pound (or more) German Sheppard behind him (& passing me at one point ). Another guy was pulling what looked to be a lab or lab mix. Anyway, both large dogs - I can't imagine towing them up the hills!

There was an article in the Houston Chronicle last week highlighting the oldest & youngest riders. The youngest rider was a 6 year old girl riding with her father & the oldest was a 92 year old man. Both were riding for the first time. Today's paper had a picture showing this man crossing the finish line - what an inspiration!
