After being postponed due to bad weather, flooding and reports of some snow, the first annual Texas Chainring Massacre went off without a hitch on May 8th, 2010. We gathered at the DFW Adventure Park, just east of I35 West near the Texas Motor Speedway, at 7am with temperatures surprisingly chilly at 55-60F. [...]
Y’all really did miss out on a very entertaining evening. I had a great time from the comfort of the scorer’s table not riding – the riding part looked hard!
Let me tick off the notable points:
1. Bilbo has been relieved of the Sandbaggins moniker (at least until the fall Dirt Derby) [...]
A few shots I grabbed during the Open race on Sunday, January 17, 2010, at the Lone Star Cyclocross Festival in Manor, TX. It was some good muddy CX action!

(WARNING – lots of words and pix here. If you just want to scroll through and look at the pix, I won’t be offended.)

Pacifier Puckerlips, running in second place out of the gate, kept his eyes wide open, with his wheels tracking true between the Princess Peach Pink marking flags. [...]
The TGR Men’s Relay Team brought home the bronze in the 4 Man Expert/Pro Category at the 24 Hours of Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville, Texas this weekend. This event was held by Terra Firma and was very well organized.
The Boys were running in 5th place for the first 8-10 hours and really felt like they had made [...]
Be on the lookout for TGR’s Relay Team this weekend at Rocky Hill Ranch, including a special guest (yep, we recruit ringers) whom many of you may recognize!

See you there!
