Deep in the Heart of Texas

Saturday's tracking via APRS and Ham Radio in TX

Running the "Barrel Race"

Jacque and I participated in the now-annual Heart of Texas ("HOT") bike/trike/recumbent rally/rodeo in Austin TX this weekend.
It was a long trip but a fun activity and we had a blast even though we were a tad bit tired by the day's end.
The rodeo consisted of barrel races, pole bending races, and dead-speed races, all the back of bucking..... bicycles, recumbents, tandems, and tricycles of all shapes and sizes, both commercial and home-built.
None of it was done in particularly racing fashion, but there were a couple of younger fellows in great shape who took all the timed events.
Here's a FaceBook Link to the event with photos.
For some reason our tracker did not work on Sunday when we rode for a 15+ mile scenic ride.  It was a fun ride but the scenery around Albuquerque, especially on the Bosque Trail, is much more interesting!
