Ok sorry to the few of you that read my site for the delayed update, the last couple of days still have my head spinning. So Monday was my last night in Austin. Knowing it was the last time i would hang out with many of my best friends for a long time. Since i spent Saturday missing group rides and riding by myself, i thought Sunday would be a day of redemption....lot o people. Well i definately went to the one place in Astin where when its 100 plus degrees there is always a massive amount of people...thats right Barton Springs!

It was PACKED!

Next on the agenda was a nice dinner with some of my best friends and family. Mom, Dad, Andrea (my big sis),Eric, Sara and I went out to a pretty good mexican restaurant. The food was gooooooood.

Food Prior to Damage...it was short lived


I put it out of its misery.

We had a blast and when it was time for a picture it was easy to have a real smile...


because dad was keeping us on the brink of spitting our food on the table



Thanks mom and dad for dinner!


Thanks Sis for coming out!


After dinner it was only appropriate to throw a very small and tame shindig at mi casa.

Packing early was a wise choice.


Party Paul was his usual self.


I almost feel worse for Sara since we're all leaveing her in Austin.

So the next morning it was time to fly. Me and my mom boarded up to head to Boulder, CO.


Once we got to Boulder we went to registration and the other orientation stuff. It didn't really hit me until i pulled up in front of my dorm that I was really going to college, here in boulder....Awesome. I lucked out on my dorm. I got a corner room with two windows and plenty of space. One window looks out over the mountains, the other one over Boulder Creek and downtown. My roomate is non existent. no email no nothing.


My dorm room.

So today I road for the first time in four days, i was itching to go out. So i left at 9:00 to go for a nice am. ride. I took a road that went up to Eldora Ski resort that a local showed me. I ended up taking a left on Montgomery Rd. It wasn't until after the 22% grades and climbing for an hour plus that i found out i had ridden an A class climb of the Boulder area, only six minutes from my dorm! SWEET!!! Today i registered for classes and my schedual it lookin pretty good. Only one 8 am class on thursdays and everything else i start at around 11:00 or 12:00 and get out no later than 1:50. Well im sure ill be riding more so i can post some better pics. Great job to all my friends that are racing in New Zealand!
