Great weekend at home! Got to ride out to Manor for
Austin Nationals' TT. Was a good chance to catch up with some friends and clients in the "Ghost Town". Only did the
Eddy Merckx-style TT without
aero equipment and it was a good test-run for future
TT's. Thanks to
RunFar chip-timing the results were accurate and posted super-fast. I think every
TT should use chip-timing, it's not that expensive and it saves a LOT of
hazzle for promoters and makes participants happy with instant results instead of waiting around until it's dark. After getting my raffle-ticket "redeemed" for an
Arundel cage Adam and I rode back home and that made it a solid 5hr day on the Fisher.
On Sunday we went out to the "real" Hill Country and rode north of
Fredericksburg for 4hours. Biggest advantage there: no traffic. We got past by two cars in the first 2hours of our ride. Enchanted Rock was very crowded, though but we "sneaked in" and got our fix at vending machines w/ Dr.
Pipp, "as-big-as-Travis' face" cookies, and "as-skinny-as-Adam's-fingers" sour sticks.
If you're in
Freddyburg you'll need to get a drink and some Schnitzel at the local micro-brewery a.k.a.
Fredericksburg Brewery. Pretty close to home-cooking and the Enchanted Rock Red Ale tastes delicious - especially after a +4hr ride in Texas Hill Country.
