Tejas 500 Race report  Well I figured on 1h45min, hoped for 1h30min, but finished in 1hr25!!  Result!  Especially with a good headwind in the hardest part. I forget how much climbing there is on this Glen Rose course.  
3rd in age group, 19th male, first and only recumbent.  
I did decently at not blowing myself up on the first half. Started 2/3 from the back of the group and quickly passed by many.  Started catching them back after 5 miles and played cat and mouse with several until I was either left behind or left them behind on the back half.  Considering where I came from and having only been back on the bike since April I'm quite happy.  
 
I was sad to learn that Dan was no longer running it. There was no tshirt and I was only given a ribbon, no trophy. That was disappointing. Also sad that I didn't know a single person there and saw no other bents bar one trike.  
 
I was excited to see the Central texas Major Taylor cycling team. If you don't know, Major Taylor was kinda the Jesse Owens of cycling.  You should look him up.  Black cyclists are something of unicorns in cycling. Seeing such a big group gives me some hope.

23-Sep-20      WED       DALLAS ROAD CYCLING (Ferndale Loop+)  

Once again, had to cut it short. This time electronic shifting failure making the long hills on the Ferndale Loop less than easy and unable to easily unclip from new pedals making it unsafe to ride. Nice visiting with Cindy, Bill, and Rocky however. Very cool temperature today but tolerable, and light wind so otherwise easy riding.
