In 1978, I returned from a year as an infantry company in Korea, and began an assignment as an AROTC instructor at the University of Texas. A friend suggested I should try running the trail, and I was hooked immediately. I ran the Capitol 10K in 1979, and followed it with the Texas Relays Marathon. Since then I have accumulated 30,000 running miles, many of them on the trail. I have also walked the loop many times with my camera, the critters and vistas always fascinating.
Kids on Bikes in Parks is a free cycling event presented by Violet Crown, The LeadOut Foundation, and The Trail Conservancy. We have a closed course of 1000 ft of grassy parkland for children ages 5-15 to ride their bikes on. We will have open track time with experienced cyclists present to teach lessons and at the top of every hour, we will have timed laps for kids to test themselves and track their progress.
