Tour Das Hugel

I'm definitely looking forward to doing my first Das Hugel ride--"hugel" is German for "hills." Rumor has it that it's a 100+ mile ride hitting all of Austin's best climbs for over 15,000 feet of vertical elevation gain. And it's FREE! This year's ride starts at 7 AM under the bridge at Mopac on November 15th.

Here is the route from last year.

Unofficial Zilker Tri

Andrea and some friends are planning to do an unofficial sprint triathlon down at Zilker Park. Here is the route I came up with for the race. The course is as follows:

-Out and back in Barton Springs (about 1/4 mile).
-Under MoPac to do 3 loops through neighborhood (some hills, but it was the flattest course I could find without riding on busy streets) (about 9 miles). 
-A clockwise loop on the dirt trail around Town Lake under MoPac and back across at Lamar (about 3.5 miles).
-Finish is near the pool.

Here is a Google Maps version of the course with details like stop signs.
