the five day forecast

looks wet and wild in austin. which is awesome because of this email from brian davies:

First, you need to take a look at this:

http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/78705?from=36hr_fcst10DayLink_business

Now, with that said - you will understand why I'm throwing not one but 2 races this week! Maybe even one next week too, since it just changed so it's raining through next Wednesday (stopped at Tuesday an hour ago...).

Here's the deets:

Name: Cross Club #10 aka The Noah's Ark Race
Date: 4/30/2009 (That's this Thursday!)
Time: 8 pm
Start/finish: Lamar Ped Bridge
Distance: In the 10-18 mile range
Cost: $5
Prizes: Yes
Slop: God, I hope so.
Advice for homework: Know the Shoal Creek trail. KNOW IT. I'm done holding hands, my friends. Time to step it up.
Added Bonus: A copy of Cyclocross Magazine to the first 20 attendees - spectators and racers.


it'll be nice on friday, so check this out:
























and depending on which city you are in, the extended forecast says saturday will be a nice day for this:
























and if you are in college station, it might still be a bit rainy for this (better map at the race):









































and when john rensho and i get back in town on sunday, time for tacos, more rain, and this:

Name: Cross Club #11 aka The first one with barriers
Date: 5/3/2009 (That's this Sunday)
Time: 6 pm
Start/finish: Undisclosed at this time - likely NOT at the ped bridge
Distance: Probably "sprint" distance. That does not mean drag racing, just probably short and vicious.
Cost: $5
Prizes: Probably so.
Slop: Should be a total nightmare if it really T-Storms for the rest of the week. At least it will be warm-ish. hehe
Advice: Get a lot of sleep and carb up. I'm throwing a wrench in the works this time. It's time to see what everyone's really got.


that's right, folks. five races this week between thursday to sunday. various weather patterns lend themselves to various types of races and rest assured, you will see me at every single one (besides the drungo's race, cuz i will be in college station.)

have a fun time! be safe! holla!

sexy sunday race!
























srsly, what's the deal with austin and awesome flyers?!?!?!

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Sorry, Portland article from Good online

back tracked from the bike jerks blog to find out if austin made it on the list!










Austin, TX


Population: 743,000
Workers commuting by bike: 0.9%
Alley cats a year: 80
People at Critical Mass (approximately): 300 per ride
Bicycle Friendly Community rating: Silver
Miles of bike lanes and trails: 258

Scene: Even in the beastly heat of July and August, Austin bike lanes bustle. The city’s largest bike club, the Austin Cycling Association, has 1,500 members, annually gives away more than 1,000 helmets through its safety education program, and runs up to 10 rides a weekend. Of the many other community rides, a standout is the Tour das Hugel, which takes advantage of the local hills to climb 14,600 feet in 105 miles. “It just goes up and down these horrible little streets, all without ever leaving the city limits,” explains Association president Stanton Truxillo. The Hangover Rover on New Year’s Day, a longstanding alley-cat street race, includes a scavenger hunt. If you just need to get yourself rolling, join the hundreds of people who teach themselves repair skills each month at Yellow Bike Project’s free workshops. In its Earn-a-Bike program, volunteers who do 12 hours of work gain the right to build their own rides.

drew's new volume creedence. why did they never sell these as framesets? why did they discontinue these? they are pursuit frames!

cross club #7













































this is straight up, off road, hike and bike brutality. the caliber of riders that show up is ridiculous. seriously, eardie's thighs are as big around as my waist and even though stackhausen works at mellow johnny's, he is definitely faster than you are.

xchrisleex has been doing these clipless on his brakeless vigorelli, and chris s has been showing up on his conversion, so no matter what you ride, just show up. and bring lights, dummy.


if you haven't showed up for a cross club yet, here are some words of wisdom from brian d:

For those of you who have never attended a Cross Club race - it is NOT an alleycat. There are no checkpoints, silly hats, drawn on mustaches or anything else like that. It is pretty much cyclocross racing, without the barriers or mud, done on the urban trails around Austin. Thus far it has been pretty much all hike 'n bike trail and Shoal Creek trail. It will expand a bit in the next month or so. Point is - bring as much traction as you can, wear a helmet if you have one, and BRING LIGHTS!
