by minorbaker        Austin On Two Wheels

Last week I went to the Peddler Dirt Derby, but as a spectator, because my bike didn’t have all its bits and pieces.  I went to take some pictures, heckle riders, and help out wherever I was needed. Aside from the nasty dust storm, the evening was quite fun.  I need to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to…

However, whoever wrote the directions (cough) filled them full of crazy pre-directions – things like “Head straight towards Buena Vista Street” – Buena Vista street would have nothing to do with the next direction, which might…
