Thanks to local guides Mark and Kirk and the rider turnout from atxbs.com (thanks Jason!), yesterday’s ride was a total success. It was a beautiful day for riding, and whoever decided that we should stop at that pub before the Blanton art museum deserves a promotion. I could have stayed longer at the museum but we needed to get to the BBQ.

Then at the BBQ, we reached the 300 person capacity for the location and gave out a lot of cool stuff. I ended up handing out 200 bag of schwag personally, and then mc’ing the raffle.

Afterwards, the atxbs.com crew led Byron and me to some freakin’ awesome tacos at some local joint. I think it was called Chilitos? Someone post the name of the restaurant.

Thanks again Austin!

I had a great time yesterday, thanks for the freebies and the grub! The restaurant we went to after the BBQ is called El Chilito and is a regular stop on our pub crawls and group rides that end up on the east side.

Hope y’all enjoyed your time in our city, next time y’all are gonna be in town just holler and we’ll have a pub crawl or something. Then we can show you some of Austin’s real hidden gems.

Thanks for showing us around. It was appreciated. We had a good ride back. Based on the response to the inaugural event, I’m sure we’ll be back.
