Is Ben TX TOUGH?

by Bernie

He plans to find out this September.

Our friend Ben over at Texas Tailwind has found a new challenge for himself: he plans to ride 112 miles on a bike with only one gear.

As a guy who enjoys pushing my own bicycle rides to new extremes, I can appreciate Ben’s desire to tackle a ride most people would call nuts. Sometimes, you’re compelled to try something crazy just to see if you can do it.

Ben’s not doing this for the hell of it, though. He also happens to be working on raising money for a good cause. The TX TOUGH Tour benefits The Childrens Medical Center in Dallas.

    Thanks for the plug Bernie. Hopefully the course isn’t too hilly.

    You’re welcome. Even if you lucked out and it wasn’t hilly, chances are it’ll be windy… and on a single speed that’s almost as bad! Good luck, and keep us posted.
