Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It was definitely a small town when I lived there. The kind where everyone knew everyone and folks would stop and give you a ride on a rainy day.

I was between 3 and 6 at the time, so I can't say that I remember those names. We knew the Bargers very well. My neighbor had a son who was 4 years older than me, Chris, but I never learned his last name. Again, I was little.

I've only been once, but it's a very nice facility. If she gets bored, you can choose between the baseball fields, basket ball courts, or football/soccer field there

Born and raised in Austin. Live in Kyle now. Still near Austin. I have never lived more than about 50 miles from my birthplace. 37 years and counting.

MikeN, I see you do the same as I do....Allen (Dallas). No one ever knows where the hell Allen is, even local Dallas people.

Ever ride around the Lake Lavon area?

Does a native who moved away, moved back, then moved away again count?

Born in El Paso, moved to Utah, moved to Austin, back to Utah for work.
