Looking online, we are one month and one week away from the Root River Triathlon in Houston. If you haven't started training, today would be a good day to start!

After looking ahead to some good spring and summertime weather, a web search away was the Root River Trail System. Every summer since I moved back to the area, I have made sure to get my bicycle on the trail. But there is a bigger event coming to Houston in May.
