Outlaw Trail 100

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Travis and I did the 100K bike loop of the Outlaw Trail. It was a good ride with nice weather and “Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!” afterward. The night before, my parents and my family went to the pre-ride pasta dinner. Little did we know that we would be the opening scene of the promo video. I also found an image of Travis and me at the starting line:

Next week, the Wurst Ride followed by Wurst Fest. Yum! They have a pretty cool interactive ride map, and they even let people embed it thusly:

Shiner GASP Results

I rode in the Shiner GASP on Saturday with a couple of friends. My hope was fulfilled as we had a nice wind at our backs for most of the ride. As a result, we made much better time than last year (5:35 instead of 7:15, including stops — which were longer and more frequent last year).

You can see the visual of the GPS data in my Running and Biking map. (These routes used to display at a slower speed, at least in Firefox, but Firefox 3, Safari, and I think IE all display it very quickly. Zooming out and turning off the auto-centering option can make it easier to watch.)
