Locally Possum Kingdom, Lake Travis & Terrell. I perfer Cozumel to our mud diving around here too.
I haven't had the pleasure yet....I've been really spoiled by
living in South Africa for 5 years, once a month dives at the coast.
Have you done the Ride for the Roses before? How hilly (it is Austin compared to the hills/overpasses we call hills around Dallas) How many riders. Is it like the Hotter than Hell? That's a lot of people.
I haven't done HTH, but want to this year.
R4R last year, approx 4K - 5K entries.
The starts are staggered based on distance, expected
finish times etc. As I hadn't been back
on the bike for very long the whole thing seemed uphill.
In reality its not too bad, the worst parts the wind.
Oh yeah, the best part (other than the cause/benefit)
is being able to say you started a ride with Lance....
