How I Spent My Rainy Tuesday Evening
from Biking In Dallas by Christopher Curnutt

Biking in the city | The Daily Texan
I’m a UT graduate myself, and I’ve stayed in Austin because I love this town. Much of its appeal lies in the fact that Austin is such a beautiful, convenient and relatively safe place to get around by bicycle.

I’m actually going to do a field test soon with my power meter to see just how much fitness I’ve “lost”.  I’m also going to stick to my Paleo/Primal diet, so I’ll post updates for how I adjust my diet around training and on-the-bike eating. Riding for the next few weeks won’t have any specific goals while…
