2008 marked the second year the Tour de Fat came to Austin. I don’t know how you can go wrong with bicycles, a two-wheeled parade downtown, beer, food, freak bikes to play with, slowest bike races and trackstand competitions – and all the profits go to local cycling charities (Yellow Bike, Austin Cycling Assoc and Austin Ridge Riders).
We rode down with Joe and Margaret Udell, and met Carol Monk and my friend Kyle from San Angelo. Good times had by all. Around 30 miles on the day, I dragged the kids on the single speed. What a workout.
Looking forward to next year. Thanks to New Belgium Brewing for hosting a unique, nationwide promotion to raise funds for local organizations.

I was showing this picture of Katie to work friends and I was saying that she always seems to be up to something in her pictures:) But David said that she always looks very dreamy to him like she is day dreaming. What do you think? Up to something or dreamy?
I think she’s pushing the limits of her eyes - experimenting. At one point she’d even rolled them back into her head.
Look or not, she’s always up to something. Like her Aunt.
