Got together this past Thursday with a fellow cyclist who lives a mile down the road from me.  We’re both lucky enough to live very close by to canal systems here in South Texas, so we decided to go on one of our usual canal rides to UTPA.  The ride is about 40 minutes of steady canal biking with a quick pedal here and there to cross busy roads.  Once you’ve hit the area between 23rd St. and McColl Road you’re in paradise.  Oh, and the canals have a reputation to show you something new and cool every time.  So yeah.
