The Snow and the Move

Its been a while since I've posted, there hasn't been a lot to report on the bike front.
The week of the Jan. 14 - 20, was dominated by sleet and snow....



I stuck to training in the gym so I wouldn't be gliding around on my bike like Zoe...


In the middle of "Winter Storm 07", we had to move out of the apartment and into another house. That weekend I set off on the Turk Tour by Civic and visited Houston and College Station (link to Gallery of pics). Last weekend was Dallas with J. Price, no pics, boo.

It turns out that the house we moved into is in an area called Tarrytown, which happens to be 2 miles from Lake Austin. Now my riding has gone shore side....



The down side to this area are the hills and short stretches, Scenic Dr. in Austin has killer steep hills and many a stop sign. I actually didn't make it up one hill and had to stop and turn around, this has never happened before nor since.
I also did my coldest and wettest run here, 40 degrees farenheit in rain, the toes and fingers went completly numb, but the spirit was warm, and I hammered out an hour of hills.
Things are starting to come to an end here in Austin, I have my interview with Thunderbird University here on the 31st, then my Mexcian buddy Robin is coming up on the 4rth of Feb., after that I'm hoping to do my first overnight trip to visit Cody (other brother) in Sonora, 200 miles. No stats to report, my bike averages have stayed the same, which I consider an improvement since the environment is harsher and I stop a lot more for traffic lights and beautiful people jogging Lake Austin.
