CYCLING IN WEST TEXAS

 

West Texas is a great place to ride! With our flat terrain and good roads you can ride in any direction with ease. Our moderate temperatures are ideal for year round cycling, and our friendly people make great riding partners.  The P.B.B.A. Cycling Club has had and is working on new MTB Trails for the offroad cyclists and we have a new BMX Park located in Reyes, Mashburn, Nelms Park - Cuthbert and Fairgrounds Road in Midland.

 West Texas always has wind. Learn to ride with a friend, a rotating draft behind another rider helps that ride into a strong headwind, and remember, you get to ride the tailwind coming back.  Remember to watch the person in front.  Don`t overlap a wheel and stay far enough behind to give yourself time to react to any situation.  The front man should also remember to communicate what is going on ahead of him because nobody likes a surprise.
For a fun, easy paced ride, come out on Tuesday evening at 6:00 to the Scharbauer Sports Complex in West Midland or join us for the Wednesday evening ride at Peyton`s also at 6:00.  Or for the Racer, join the Tuesday - Thursday riders leaving from Loop 338 and Hwy. 191 in Odessa.   Contact us at Peyton`s for adjustments to ride times.
   Bike shops are few and far between out here, so make sure your bicycle is in good mechanical condition. Check for chain wear, frayed cables, tire condition and bearing adjustment regularly. Everything in West Texas has thorns so always carry a spare tube, patch kit, tire tool, pump, and maybe some spare change for a cool drink and an emergency call home.

Another reason to ride in West Texas is our local cycling club, the Permian Basin Bicycle Association. As a member of the LAB, USA Cycling, NORBA, and Bike Texas, our club hosts rides ranging from road races and tours to weekly training rides. The Fort Davis Cyclefest, Cactus and Crude MS Bike Tour and the YMCA Tall City Triathlon are examples of some of the events supported by the P.B.B.A
