Not too old, a couple weeks. We also have really good food, nice weather year round (well us natives think so) and the beautiful hill country.

That looks terrific! I always wondered why a lot of bike shops tend to cater to the 20 something racer. You would think that a smart marketing strategy would be to cater to the recreational rider. Especially those of us that have been working 25+ years and can more easily afford it than those just starting out. Look how many 40+ and 50+ women are on this board with several bikes to boot! This looks like a very smart business move to me. I know that I'm going to try to get to Austin. Well, I was planning on it anyway. I wanted to check out the climate and biking. Of course with a couple of inches of ice outside, I really want to pack up NOW!

Spazzdog here who was born and raised in Texas now living in CA says it's the best part of TX. Food, music, the river, lakes and hills. I would like to visit someday. I've never been to TX

Yippee skippee! DH has a cousin in Austin with whom we could crash. I've always wanted to meet J(Dh's cousin). Everyone tells me she like a female version of BIAK.

I'd really like to see Austin, and now I have an *important* reason to go there!
