Tour of Austin Bike Race
The “Tour of Austin 2010” is being held this weekend and several venues around Austin. Today’s race was at the Texas State hospital. It’s a pretty good course with several turns and some long straight-aways. I went out today with the girls to see a few of my friends race. It was early enough that it was still nice and cool and there is a playground for the girls so, I didn’t have to worry about keeping them entertained.
My friends were racing in the 40+ Cat. 3/4 and the competition was stiff right from the start. The race was 50 minutes long and the course was short so it made for a great spectator day.
My only wish was that I had the fitness to get out there and race. I really miss the competition and camaraderie.
Below are some pictures for your enjoyment and a video. Watch the video and you will be surprised by how loud the bikes can be.

Here is a video of the Cyclist making a few of the corners. This is my favorite point-of-view.
