APRIL 5, 2009--Club racers headed in all directions over the weekend to kick off the first races of the year.
Lonestar in Galveston is a whole weekend affair. New Orleans sported rough waters, snakes on the bike course and a French Quarter finish (followed by a bus ride back to get your bike.).

BELIN PARK, Pecan Grove, TX(2/8/09)--The cold weekend weather of the last couple of months broke Saturday and Sunday...which officially makes it the 2009 Triathlon Season...
OK I made that up but folks are out riding...the MS organized rides are drawing huge crowds, like the one from Katy Mills Saturday. A few of us rode from Belin and others from Sugar Land Memorial Park Sunday.
If you are new to the club, our "default" ride is wheels on the ground at 7:30am Sundays at Belin Park in Pecan Grove for now (7am most of the spring and summer) (click on USEFUL LINKS above for a map of that area).
The Fulshear-Simonton-Brookshire area is fairly biker friendly and hundreds of cyclists are out every Saturday and Sunday for all over this area. I have riden in that area for about 18 years without incident.
There are other groups riding at different times...look at the DISCUSSION FORUM for other options if you want them.
