Austin

It looks like Austin is more humid in the am than the afternoon which seems odd to me. We have the opposite. That would make it better, we ride later in the afternoon normally.

Thanks!

Austin is not the muggy humidity of Houston but it is HOT!!! I am a native for all of my 28 years (minus the college years 100 miles down the road towards Houston). It is way different from Houston being 200 miles inland but we sweat, a lot. In the late May until early September you will have to be on the bike early in the morning or get real acclimated to riding in 100 degree heat indexes.

I was a February baby, my mom took me home February 24th and had to buy something to put me in because my grandparents bought me a sweater set only problem was it was 84 degrees outside.

Austin is much groovier than Houston, isn't it?

Austin is way cooler than Houston could ever hope to be. If I had to pick the big 3 I would say Austin first, then DFW and then Houston. But lets be realistic if I leave Austin I want to leave Texas. Our traffic is a nightmare but who really wants to live anywhere else in Texas?

Oh I dunno. Fort Worth?! Not quite as groovy as Austin admittedly but the housing is like 1/2 the price and it is pretty darn awesome. Oh, and we have trails. LOTS and LOTS of terrific trails.

And yes, all of texas is pretty much wicked wicked wicked hot. If you prefer the 70s I would recommend the west coast because you're not gonna get it anywhere in TX. Except maybe the Davis mountains, but I'm not really sure about that...

Fort Worth is not bad, the area near TCU seemed pretty cool (we went to the Zoo last week). I just get lost in the Metroplex.

Davis Mountains? Love to visit but it is an hour to the nearest Walmart and the animals out there are real wild.
