The Texas 4000 for Cancer ATLAS Ride, now in its ninth year, features 25-, 50-, and 70-mile routes that wind through the scenic countryside and end at the beautiful Pillar Bluff Vineyards located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where there will be a large pavilion and stage for local entertainment, good ol’ Texas barbecue, and much more. Riders and attendees are also welcome to take a tour of the award-winning Texas Legato Winery! Full SAG, rest stops, and mechanical support will be provided throughout the day.
Each year, Texas 4000 for Cancer, a University of Texas at Austin student-led non-profit organization, sends a cycling team more than 4,500 miles on the world’s longest charitable ride from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska to spread the organization’s three pillars of Hope, Knowledge, and Charity across the North American continent. The ride is the accumulation of a year and half of hard work and dedication to the cause by the riders, since the team takes responsibility for planning the entire trip, from plotting turn-by-turn directions of the routes and building relationships with host families to seeking out communities and hospitals to present cancer awareness programs and share personal cancer experiences with others affected by the disease.
Come cycle the first day of the seventy-day journey with the LIVESTRONG Texas 4000 Team and join us in the fight against cancer! Early registration ends on March 3rd!
Until March 3rd: $50
March 3rd – May 29th: $60
May 30th – June 1st: $70
Transportation back to Cedar Park is provided for a $20 fee (or cyclists can arrange their own ride back).

We are very blessed and excited to share with you, the great news of our great endeavor. Jason Knight & I, Sandy McNaul, have joined forces to bring to
all, a great safety awareness project kickoff during National Safety Month, in June.
If haven't already, save the date, as we officially invite you to:
1st Inaugural XK Race - Xtreme Knight Race
Date: June 7, 2013, Time: 3:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Local: Harris Hill Raceway http://www.harrishillroad.com/
* Please, come and make a difference, at this family oriented event. Just do it! Just grab a bike, grab some sneakers, and join us at our 1st Inaugural
(Walk, Run, Race) XK Race (Duathlon) & XK Kids K Race!
Choice is yours! Don’t have to be a runner/cyclist; simply put one foot in front of the other and walk the entire way. I know I am. ;-). Think about that:
simply walking on a Friday afternoon/evening will aid in supporting local organizations like:
- Austin Disaster Relief Network, ADRN (http://www.adrntx.org/),
- The Blood Center of Central Texas (http://www.inyourhands.org/),
- Arm Services Blood Program (http://www.militaryblood.dod.mil/default.aspx),
- Operation Home Front (http://www.operationhomefront.net/default.aspx).
Isn’t that worth it?
If biking, walking, running is not suitable for you, we can always use volunteers to either help get this event off the ground or simply sign up for our
blood drive by contacting me sandymcnaul
gmail [dot] com.
We will have musical performances, like an Up-and-Coming local artist, Mr. Andy Der Tatevasion. And have just invited Puerto Rican cuisine Gusto Criollo to
this event. They're food is excellent and they will have healthy choices, as well as, our other food vendor MaMa's Cafe, from Austin. Not only will this be a
great event for the whole family & friends, but bring your appetite too!
So, no more excuses. Just Do It, (seriously a great slogan) and in my humble opinion... 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you will most
certainly be right.'

TRIRI® Bicycle Rallies explore Indiana through a series of loop rides from one or two state parks. Stay at a beautiful, modern Indiana State Park inn or camp. We've expanded the rally for 2013-- it's now six days of cycling!
Join us at Clifty Falls & Brown County State Parks for our third annual bicycle rally, Sunday, June 9-Friday, June 14. Partial week (three-day) registration will be available. Routes will feature wineries, the 19th century architecture of Madison's historic district, and the modern architecture of Columbus, Indiana--in addition to the beauty of rural Indiana.
Clifty Falls State Park is located just outside the lively town of Madison, on the Ohio River. The park is known for its canyon, waterfalls, and rugged hiking trails.
Brown County, home to Brown County State Park, resembles the Great Smokey Mountains with its hills, ridges, and ravines. Just a few miles from the former artist colony of Nashville, Indiana, the park is a mecca for trail runners and features some of the best mountain biking in the United States. Learn more about Brown County State Park and Abe Martin Lodge.
Terrain ranges from rolling to hilly with some challenging hills.

September Escapade™ will feature the scenic and historic sites of south central Indiana, with overnights at three state parks: Brown County (two nights), Spring Mill (two nights), and McCormick's Creek (one night). Routes use rural, hard-surfaced roads, with stops in small towns for services. Terrain ranges from rolling to hilly with some challenging hills. Ridership is limited to 250 participants.
September Escapade offers a choice of inn lodging or tent camping at all three state parks. Indiana State Park Inns are modern and well-appointed, with high quality linens, comfortable furniture, air conditioning, and free WiFi.
Expect to ride an average 75 miles on the days we travel to a new state park, and train to be able to complete this distance over hilly terrain. Two layover days offer two or three loop rides of varying distances, or free time to explore the park, with activities such as hiking, horseback riding and photography.

I am riding the Northern Peloponnese in Greece this October with sag support from Cycle Greece. The cost is lower if there are more people. The ride itself is challenging, 50+ miles per day throughout the historic sites of the Arcadian mountain range. Accomodations in local hamlets and villages. If interested in riding the Heroic Lands of the Greek Peloponnesse give me a call; everyone rides at their own pace (there are varying distances) and does whatever they want after the ride . . . . this is not a "tour" in that way - - the great aspect is the sag support so that clothes and equipment are transported and we concentrate on ride.
Michael (512) 364.0158 Here is link to Cycle Greece Sacred Sites Tour
P.S. The costs which are divided and become lower the more people there are include: pick up at Atens airport (including bicycle and luggage) and sag support (portaging of personal belongings to each day's destination)
