Bikin' Shorts - The Rides of March

Let's Ride!

With March just around the corner, organized rides and rallies are getting closer every day. We've included the rides that we know of in March, with most of them being a road trip away (the weather is warmer down south). We also give a nod to some of the riding opportunities in early April, like Fun in Fredericksburg.


Since Fun in Fredericksburg is an open ride with no registration fee, we'll lead with that one. If you want to get out of town, share some hilly rides at an easy pace (we like to enjoy the scenery), check it out. I am hosting this one with a group of friends, so let me know if you plan to join us and I'll share my contact information. Please note that you can use our route maps and other information if you plan to go at another time - or ride on your own at a faster pace.


We're also including information on our European Tour of Texas and the Road to Hotter'N Hell. These series offer one ride a month for 4 months or 5 months, beginning in April. Registration closes March 1.


Other rides are updating their information every day, so visit Wheelbrothers to get the latest information on the Rides of March.

How about a FREE bike ride?

Come join me for a FREE bike ride that I call Fun in Fredericksburg. I'll be going to town with a few friends of mine for 5 days (April 1 - April 5) of cycling the open roads around town. Great scenery and lots of wild flowers with low traffic levels make this a dream vacation for me. There are lots of options for lodging and plenty of good places to eat. If you like the idea, but not our dates, you can use our maps and go on your own as your schedule allows. Visit our website for the details

Celebrating 50 years of fitness

After being sick most of my youth, I started pursuing fitness on a bicycle in 1974 at the age of 19. I am still at it 50 years later, which is why I am encouraging you to get on a bike and ride. Whether you ride with family members, friends or on your own - you get healthier. When you ride in these rides, you get to enjoy the value and benefits of recess while making a $$ contribution to those communities. Let's build a healthier community together!


I hope to see you out on the road. I'm the guy with the propeller on his helmet.
