I haven't posted since September and the year ended without any updates! So, in an effort to wrap-up and close-out 2009 I'll make a final post for the year...
In November, Dan and I made our annual trip to New Braunfelds for Wurstfest. This year was also our second annual trip to the Tour de Gruene. I rode with Dan in the non-competetive group ride earlier in the day. The course was much changed from last year and not as enjoyable for us. Granted, my experience could have been dampened due to the multiple spills taken on my bike two months earlier...let's just say my ride wasn't as relaxed as it was last year! Too many overpasses to traverse and too many inexperienced (hello kettle) riders made me too nervous!
The turnout for the Individual Time Trial wasn't as impressive this year because Lance Armstrong didn't attend. Oddly enough, the organization of the event was far superior last year even though the same people ran it this year and for the past dozen or so!
After we took some recovery time from our rides we got ready to go to Wurstfest and enjoy the sumptuous feast of brats, fried potatoes, sauerkraut, brochen, roasted corn on the cob, and funnel cake. Did I forget beer? Can't forget beer at Wurstfest...!
Dan and I got 'kickered' out in boots and jeans for a little boot scootin'! Fun Fun Fun!
On our way home we attended Merle's wedding to Tom. Dan worked with Merle at the AG's office. The views at Vintage Villas overlooking Lake Austin were great! I can only imagine how much more beautiful it is when the lake isn't 30ft low...!
