Mailing Lists Up and Running
By Edward Robinson | August 22, 2010
Well I have finally gotten off my duff and setup some mailing lists to keep you guys informed. There is one for those of us who ride regularly out of Friendswood and those who ride out of the shop at Bay Area. In my case regularly is almost never at this time since I have been busy at work, but I am working on it. If you ride in these areas these lists will help keep you informed about who is riding and when. Contact Ira at the shop or Ed Robinson.
For now the lists and rides are a bit informal. Often riders will post that they have time to ride at a time and place and those who can join do. Seems to be working for now. Have a safe ride, and I’ll keep you informed as things develop.

Nothing new Here
By Edward Robinson | July 18, 2010
Been a while since I have have had much time to work on this site or ride a bike. I knnow a lot of you have been riding a lot, but apparently I have not been keeping up. I had a emailing list in the works, but it became corrupted and I have not had time to get it setup again. Sorry about that Ira. I will keep work on it as I have time which is limited right now.
Come back and post what you have been up to.

What is Up with Bay Area Cycling Team
By Edward Robinson | January 14, 2010
Well it’s a new season. I have been out of touch with most of you trying to keep my business running and finding time to ride when I can. Not in the best shape for racing but by the time some of my favorities come around I hope to be in better shape. I have been trying to work with Ira to get a mailing list setup but we have not been communicating well here lately.
Thus the point for the email. Anyone riding under the Bay Area Cycling Team jersey anymore? Anyone interested in keeping this up and running? If so check in and lets start posting our plans. I would be willing to attend races with other riders to both share in the fuel, fellowship, riding ect. and I am sure other would as well. Just reply to this post or drop me an email.
We could use new kits too so if you have interest let me know on that. I doubt we have a minimum order but we can try.

Tour Das Hugel
By Edward Robinson | October 26, 2009
Friend of mine… (Since I have not ridden this I use that term with some trepidation as I am sure this suggestion was intended to hurt me!) sent me this url for Tour Das Hugel
http://www.tourdashugel.com/index.htm
Looks like a lot of fun. 100+ miles of the hardest hills in Austin. Its a free ride that is supported. Finish and you get to wear a coveted t-shirt. I cannot go this year due to some previously arranged plans but I wanted to share.

Tour De Gruene
By Edward Robinson | October 19, 2009
Well if you have been living under a rock this month come on out… Tour De Gruene is in a couple of weeks. I just got an email indicating that the Time Trial and Team Time Trial races have been filled and registration is now closed. I was on the fence since I have only been riding on a regular basis for a little over a month due to injury and work load of the summer so now I don’t have to worry about it anymore at least.
I will be there with my family, extended family, friends, and those just wishing to have a good time who might know me. Hope to see you there too.

Helotis
By Edward Robinson | October 18, 2009
Had a great ride with Teddy yesterday morning. Crisp 60 degree morning watching the sun come up over the rolling hills in north west San Antonio. That is one great! ride. We are talking about doing some riding out near Bastrop when we have time. If you have not done so check out the latest issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine (not posted yet evidently keep looking). They have a good article on some new riding options in Big Bend which might be fun if anyone has a plane we can take out for the weekend :-).

Riding in Bastrop
By Edward Robinson | August 3, 2009
I just got back from a long weekend. I took a four day vacation with my wife and some friends and stayed is some cabins in Smithville near Bastrop. The cabins were actually located directly between Beucher State Park and Bastrop State Park on very near Park Road 1. This is near Rocky Hill Ranch. The Ranch is only about 10 min from the place we were staying. Pretty close to Bluff Creek Rance in Warda as well. The cabins were 2 bedroom with a hot tub and rented for around $160 a day. There are 5 cabins total. This would be a great place for the shop team/group to meet up for a weekend of riding both road and MTB.
If you are racing Rocky Hill or Warda it would be a great place to stay as well. They have a common area with a fire pit as well.
I rode Rocky Hill with some friends. It was very hot. We got there just before 9 am and rode till noon. When we got back in the truck it was 103 F. Guys were still riding, but they are tougher than me. The place was pretty empty as you would expect for a Friday.
The wife and kids will be back with our MTB to give it another go when it gets a little cooler. Anyone wants to suggest a weekend and help put this together let me know. Teddy and I hope more of you get with us on the SA MS 150.

Bike MS: Valero 2009 Alamo Ride to the River October 3-4, 2009
By Edward Robinson | July 18, 2009
Ok, well Teddy asked that I join this event. I feel it worth while and I will be giving back just a little while doing something I love anyway. Now I just have to get back onto my bike. I have been off a couple of months. I have been very busy at work, home, and did you notice it has been hot?
I have posted a link to my personal page on my company home page so check it out.
Here is a link to Teddy’s team page.
You know you wanna do it, and we are going to have a blast. I have never ridden one of these, but it looks fun and Teddy is a good guy to hang with. What about YOU! Anyone else signed up?

Memorial Weekend
By Edward Robinson | May 15, 2009
Not much going on here. I hope everyone is riding well and enjoying the season. I have been off the bike for about 2 months total so my season did not take off. I had some medical reason for being off the bike for the last month including knee pain, but I am healed up and back riding this week. Feeling great and enjoying myself. I may start doing structured workouts in the next couple of weeks. I am enjoying my bike fit although I am still tweaking it a bit. Got the knee problems I was having worked out through iterations of adjusting cleat shims and saddle height, but I think I got it about right.
I will be up in Livingston over Memorial weekend. If anyone will be up that way I would like to coordinate a ride either road or MTB. I if you can make it, I willl try to hang on.
