Ride Friendly
This football state also loves cycling. Lots of Hill Country
roads have sprung bike lanes, and, of course, Austinite Lance Armstrong has
won four Tours de
France. Not everyone is like Lance, though, and the Houston Bicycle Club knows
that. It offers everything from "easy rides" for novices to treks with the Dirty Dozen, a group that takes 100-mile rides "to stay in shape," according to club president Steve Sutherlin. Though all its members love cycling, the club is more about "camaraderie and friendship," says Sutherlin. Saturday, July 12, take part in an 8 a.m. orientation ride for newbies at the Fulshear City Hall, 30603 FM 1093. And for the seasoned pros among you: Yes, the Dirty Dozen are planning a "century" ride
from Sealy to Rock Island. For information, call 281-496-1519 or visit www.hbc.stevens.com. Club membership is $20 per person, or $25 per family.
