And, last but not least, the site of the late Sheldon Brown, bike mechanic and enthusiast extraordinairre, still up and going, all kinds of bicycle info and resources, here--

In case you didn't know, Sheldon Brown was a bike rider, bicycle mechanic, writer, camera repairman, photographer, website designer, and eccentric genius who died too young, at 63, after suffering from a nerve disease that deprived him of the ability to ride his bicycles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Brown_(bicycle_mechanic) For years, Sheldon Brown was the internet authority for bicycle mechanics and advice.

Been away from the board for a while. Partly because I thought the new WTC site would be sufficient. Well, I just came by and found the WTC links including the old one to Caprock Multiport are dead as a doornail. So disregard the WTC links above.

The Texas Tech Cycling site has a new forum at http://www.texastechcycling.org/p/forum.html#/ This seems to be where the Lubbock cycling action is now, both road and mountain.

You are welcome here too. And if any demonstrably trustworthy person is interested in joining me as forum moderator or Admin2, let me know. I am not a control freak, but want to see cycling info available for the Lubbock area.

Visited the West Texas Turtles recumbebt and trike site again.
http://www.westtexasturtles.com/ They lonk to more info about the sport than I remembered. Go by and see!

The West Texas Endurance folks are nvolved in managing some local/regional events. Here is their website. http://www.westtexasendurance.com/

Have to comment that these events are not to my mind well publicized. Didn't know there was a duathlon coming Apr 20 til today when I first heard of the Willie McCool half marathon that was run a week ago that I did not know about in advance.
