I recently settled in in South Texas and while I was picking some odds and ends up at the LBS, the guy behind the counter handed me a sign up sheet for STARRS (South Texas Area Runners, Riders and Swimmers). After coming off of about a year either deployed or traveling, I need to get some legs under me before I start racing or doing much in terms of groups rides, but I was wondering if anyone else is familiar with this group and had any input.
PM me and I’ll give you the scoop.
former CC guy. Starrs is a great group, but not overly organized. They put on a couple good races (CC triatlon already held this year). If you are in CC, I am sure the riding group still meets at Santa fe shopping center on the weekends and there is also a south group that meets out on Saratoga (I believe). Great people of all abilities.
feel free to PM me if you have any difficulty hooking up with people. If you are outside of CC, I am not sure how much help I can be.
welcome to South Texas!
I’m in Portland, and I’ll be trying out the 12m commute to the Naval Station in Ingleside starting next week. I expect to drop about 25lbs in the first week with this heat, humidity and wind all combined.
great riding over there, just be careful as they are not respectful of bikers…mainly because they rarely see them. Have fun, no hills, but plenty of wind!
