Reimer's Ranch

You know... this blog was way cooler when it was about my work, not my hobby. Well I suppose at the time work was my hobby. Anywho, last weekend I headed out to West Austin to get me some my MTB racing on. The trail was at Reimer's Ranch which is probably better known for its rock climbing. I headed out Saturday for a pre-ride since it was a techinical course and then headed back down to San Marcos to crash for the night. San Marcos is the bomb, its even better when you dont have to goto school! Word. Had dinner on the square at a local gem and then headed to buddies house for a good ole college party, well a graduate student party but whatever. Good times all around.

Sunday I headed back to the ranch for the race. All the usual suspects were around and its always good seeing everyone. I had a good start but kinda backed it off right before the singletrack for a some reason I don't know. I usually don't like these trails as much b/c my technical skillz have been lacking but for once I really rode well/confident on that type of course, and almost cleared everything tricky. I've realized my engine has left my bike handling skillz behind so I have been trying to ride the dirt much more which I think might be paying off a little. Anyways, long story short I had a pretty solid race and finished 3rd and got a cool trophy and some Ca$H! The course was awesome to say the least.

I watched Juno tonight and really liked it. The main character girl, Juno, reminds me of a girl I dated in college, Meghann... to a tee, crazy. Well minus the whole baby in the womb thing.

I swear this little drop/downhill is much sketchier than it looks... really, no really.
