Riding in Austin...YA!

Had to go to A-Town for a meeting last weekend and as usual I won't go without my bike. Woke Sunday to Sunny and 40 degrees. After a stolen bowl of oatmeal at the house I was staying I headed out to one of my favorite training grounds. Its off of Bee Caves rd and its called River Road I think. Its about 2 miles down to the bottom of the ???Valley, Canyon??? Hills?? what ever Austin has. Either way you go down hard and then come back up hard. Great climbing all the way back up. Did a few repeats there and then headed back into town over into Westlake where the hills are steep as hell and fun to mess around on. Overall I prolly didn't ride more than 35-40 miles, but I went up to Jupiter with all the climbing. F'ing FANTASTIC riding. Why do I live here? Anyways, got my first race on Feb 7th. Stage race down in South Tejas. I'm not ready but I need to race myself into shape so here it goes. Still waiting on my kit so I might not be racing at all if my team dosen't hurry up and get me a kit.

All for now.
