Burning up the quads in Austin

So this past weekend I went to Austin to put in a long ride with Andrea in the wonderful westlake area. I think I've written about that area in a previous post. It was quite beautiful. We went at it a little harder this time than the last time we rode it (or atleast we let ourselves think that!). As it has been pratically all season, it was wonderful. 65 degrees and cloud-free. We rode for probably 25-ish miles. But, it was so terribly hilly that it counted for a good solid ride. We were feeling it when we were done. The exhaustion you feel after a bike ride is so different from a running exhaustion, it's this general fatigue that makes you want a margarita. It's crazy, but trust me, that's what happens. So, to make sure we recovered properly we listened to our bodies and went to get some margaritas after the ride. After the ride we decided to ride a little more and rode to the UT campus to watch the Texas Relays. Very fun. Who doesn't love a good track meet? Actually probably a lot of people. But WE loved it. Then we rode to El Chile for those margaritas we needed. Then we rode back to downtown to watch a free concert. So, needless to say we got plenty of riding in Saturday. Countdown to the MS150...5 days!
