I rode a very technical and rocky trail yesterday, not the sort of thing a roadie on a single speed hardtail should be riding on.

No trails today, it's about to come a turd floater!

Road some awesome mountain trails yesterday!

More or less I go to the Brushy Creek Trails, actually it's a trail that links four other parks together. It's more of a concrete/dirt trails. I would say 60% is dirt and 40% is concrete I like the changes in terrain and consistency, so I always want to keep a average speed goal. I guess I'm a XC/ freeride type. Me and father will go every other day and tackle that sucker. I also ride the streets, sidewalks, and greenbelts, back trails, anything with dirt and rocks, not boulders. Not that jumping off a cliff and not knowing what's down there. But I do like steep downhills and uphills. From time to time I like to do sprints if I don't hit the trails.

It's been overcast with light showers in Austin so I haven't rode in in a couple of days but I got out this morning and went nuts in the puddles. Almost slipped of my seat hitting them to hard. I picked up a mountain bike from a garage sale over the weekend so I was using that instead of my Raleigh, It's more fun to run over things on a mountain bike! I haven't had one since I was a kid, but I think I'm gonna hit the green belt this weekend if the weather hold out.

We FINALLY got some rain earlier today, it let up afterwards. But it was too wet to hit the trails. So I rode the streets today, speaking of kids. I ran into a swarm of neighborhood juvenile bikers. They always want to race me. It feels like I'm being stalked by these little critters in my own neighborhood.

Did our weekly ride at Schaeffer Farm last night. Kinda of a small turn out due to the threat of rain. We only had 7 people show up. Usally we have two or three times that many.

We kicked off at 6:00. It was a great ride and only around 65 degrees, so I rode with only a water bottle. The rain never came, but it's here in full force this morning. Post ride, we hit Dogfish Head ale house as usual for some deeeeelicious IPA's and grub.

Starting next Thursday, we're bumping the time to 7:00 and starting this seasons night rides.

Haha, kids are great aren't they. Next time they challenge you do it then move at your own pace. If you lose problem solved. If you win you've proved your alpha male status and they should bend to your will. Dominate and oppress those hooligans! Kids need direction.

LOL Yah they are not too bad, I have raced the two of them before on several occasions, and they are aware of my pace. But that day I went out to ride I was caught off guard when I saw six of them riding all clump together. It seems my bike addiction might have started a cycling epidemic, at least I made a positive impact I guess right?
