veloway
nevermind the fact that i've lived within 10 miles of it for the past 5 years--why the hell did it take me almost a decade in austin before i made it down to the veloway?* a few laps on a bike racing through the gears and slipping through the turns make go-karts seem so very trite. the only traffic you need worry about is other human-powered, wheeled formats (bikes, inline skates, etc.) who are all traveling in the same direction as you--which is cycling heaven as far as i'm concerned.
27 miles with k along escarpment, south mopac, 45. legs feel great.

* answer: i'm pretty sure it's because i made fun of cycling for the better part of the past decade. yeah, that's probably the reason...
