C.O.T.A. Bike Night, Tuesday Nights

Fellow Central Texans, I'd like to inform you that C.O.T.A (Circuit of the Americas) Bicycle Night on Tuesdays is an experience!

The cost is 5-6 bucks and you are required to pre-pay and register online before arrival. Upon Arrival to the Elroy, TX Development wonder, and only F1 track in North America, the car parking is free. Next you go check in inside and get a paper wristband. Lastly you are free to use, ride and bike the COTA paved track however your choose. Warning, Turn 1, the first large uphill turn doesn't visually look imposing, but on a bike is physically strenuous. I was able to complete 5 laps total, but only 1.5 turn 1 hill climbs. It is a friendly all ages and skill level ride, from little infant kids, to recreational bikers like me, to legit semi-professional geared up speedy pros.

It is a thrilling, invigorating and such a unique experience! There is free cold water station mid-lap, surrounding pump-up music the entire lap and food trucks with beer, Gatorade and food, post bike ride.

Go for it folks. BIKE NIGHT TEUSDAYS @ COTA!

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
