Colnago will be bringing demo bikes to the LBJ Ranch, in conjunction with the 5th Annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour coming up March 24. This “get up close and personal” opportunity with new bike models is presented courtesy of one of Colnago’s newest retailers, and a major sponsor of the LBJ 100 – Ride Away Bicycles – with three shops in San Antonio.
Come on out to the event, talk to Ride Away, check out a Colnago, and feel that awesome handling ability on those gorgeous Texas hills.

Dear fellow bicyclists,
This bill is truly atrocious. It gets just about everything wrong for trails, walking and bicycling. Please join Rails-to-Trails Conservancy in stopping the bill. Encourage your representative to vote “no,” now!
Some are calling the draft multiyear transportation bill being considered in the U.S. House of Representatives “the worst bill ever.” It’s hard to disagree with this regrettable distinction from a trails, walking and bicycling perspective. We need to stop the bill, now!
The bill as it is currently written would:
The bill could come to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in the next few days. Since it is beyond possibility of repair, we need to ensure that it does not leave the House floor.
We have no time to lose. Ask your representative right now to vote against the bill.
I’ll be doing everything in my power to ensure this bill is defeated in the House. I truly hope you’ll join me.
Even as we are working feverishly to defeat this House bill, please note that a Senate bill – which also fails to preserve dedicated funding for trails, walking and bicycling – will likely come to the Senate floor for debate and a vote next week as well. (When it rains, it pours!) We’ll be messaging you about that, too. Apologies in advance for so many messages from us in so short a timeframe, but please know that we wouldn’t write you so much if it weren’t absolutely necessary.
Thank you so much for your help to advance the cause of bicycling in the US, and safe bicycling,
Pit

The 2012 commemorative jerseys are as of now available for purchase at all Rideaway Bicycle Shops in San Antonio.
Bike inspections are not required to ride in the 5th Annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour. However, riders are strongly encouraged to bring their bike in to any of the three Ride Away Bicycles shops in San Antonio, any of the REI stores in Austin or Round Rock, or Hill Country Bicycle Works in Fredericksburg or Kerrville at least two weeks prior to the day of the event (March 24). These sponsors have graciously agreed to perform a basic Mechanical Inspection free of charge to identify any major issues with the equipment. Of course, anything found where the rider would want the sponsor’s techs to correct would be subject to prevailing sponsor shop rates. Help ensure that you’re mechanically equipped for an enjoyable ride!
Our friends at RaceTechs have worked the kinks out and as of now online registration is available again. To take you there, click here: online registration.
Unfortunately, there’s a glitch with our online registration. It’s temporarily unavailable. We’re trying to fix it ASAP. We’ll notify when things are working again. Check here or at the tour’s website for updates.
