The Dam Loop on Sunday
Somehow, we managed to turn what should have been a 35 mile ride into a 55 mile ride. It was a great ride though and the weather was superb. The ride consisted of a loop of some of the main highways in Austin. The ride took us from Southwest Austin, up past the Mansfield Dam into the Northwest part of Austin, then back down South on the most direct route, Highway 360. There was one hill along the route that was a real nut buster. The hill coming out of Barton Creek onto 2244 is so steep that I was in danger of tipping over due to my slow accent. I actually had to stop for a minute to let my heart rate come back down. Such is life when you are out of shape. I rode today with Big Cat and two great gals, Sunflower and Martillo. Here are some pictures.
