r bicycle training carol johnson executive director hill country ride for aids mamma jamma ride against breast cancer suzanne freeman the care communities leave a comment a ride around mueller airport posted on september 24 2012 by suzanne freeman a giant steel spider at the greenway on the old mueller airport site in austin texas where 747s once revved their engines preparing for a sprint down a too short runway giant spiders now roam or actually one giant spider hovers over a granite gravel pathway that once was austin municipal aka mueller airport runways and terminals are no more the area is now a greenway and housing development oddly the blue and white checkerboard tower that reeks of 1960s modernism mixed in with a little art deco and dada still stands surrounded by no trespassing signs air traffic control at the old mueller airport in austin now that i m back on the bike i wanted to check out a new trail so far nothing beats the veloway for beauty speed fun and proximity but sometimes a girl needs a change so i strapped blue onto pearl and headed north in ih 35 to the neighborhood where my oldest son brian kennedy was born in the master bedroom of a duplex 31 years ago much much much has changed now called mueller southwest greenway a pathway morphs randomly from gravel to pebbled concrete and weaves through displays of native plants fountains hydrated ponds picnic tables benches geese and outdoor sculptures it s not a good place to bike for exercise but it s a great place to treat as an outdoor museum or contemplative space the best part of the whole experience was the neighborhood this greenway serves i don t know if it has a name but it s a beauty every house is different but all cut from the same modern take on frank lloyd wright exotic unique every one a jewel squeezed onto a tiny lot porches on every one paved alleys for parking and trash cans decorations yard ornaments flower pots all from arts and crafts fairs this neighborhood keeps austin weird funky and beautiful i had more fun circling the neighborhood streets 8 miles total than anything else especially since about every 5th house had an obama 2012 yard sign very cool neighborhood the only presidential election sign i ve seen in my hood was one for rick santorum after the primaries were over go figure i would rate this ride an interesting jaunt but not worth the trouble of getting there and back to put on my list of regular routes if you live in the area lucky you i d ride there every day suzanne freeman 2012 share this share share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens

september 21 2012 by suzanne freeman addy and crew win 2nd place in wagons division of the shady hollow 4th of july parade the heat of the summer drove me into the pool and kept me off the bike although blue belle and i did ride with addy in the shady hollow fourth of july parade she won second place in the wagon division i made three trips around the veloway last week just getting the kinks out i also talked to the guy who maps out the hill country ride for aids routes about taking on the 50 mile route next spring he doesn t think i can do it on a townie he tried it once and said he was miserable with only the seven gears well you re not a little ol lady either i said don t mess with my blue belle for today s trip i discovered my tires were too low i had packed a lunch and my latest read swamplandia so i struggled through to my favorite tree at the 2 5 mile point and chilled for awhile i enjoyed a cool breeze under the tree believe it or not a stop for a bite of book and lunch on the veloway although it is about 91 degrees out it is the autumnal equinox tomorrow what a beautiful day steve and i are about to head out and buy a new bicycle pump to get me ready for the next ride i want to start exploring new trails again the pool and schlitterbahn water park helped me keep in shape over the summer but i can no longer pull mount everest i can ride 10 or so miles at a clip however i just need to get my hill legs back i also need to find the instructions to my odometer i forgot how to calibrate it ahh the inconveniences of old age suzanne freeman 2012 share this share

suzanne freeman i rode for walt a 54 year old man living with aids in central texas his name was strapped to my bike so i could see it as i peddled along 29 miles of country roads around the reunion ranch in georgetown more than 1 000 riders joined me riding routes from 13 to 100 miles long we raised more than 500 000 all of which will be spent on aids patients in central texas the name of each of those patients tied to a bike the finish line gold medal and all the ride was amazing i stopped only for pictures and didn t have to walk a single hill the highlight was definitely the finish line especially when i found friends helen and simone there blowing whistles and snapping pictures helen brought champagne and strawberries to celebrate we also had cheese bread smoked salmon and hummus a fitting feast for a spring feat thank you so much to everyone who supported me by helping with the grandkids while i went on training rides sponsoring me with your contributions to the hill country ride for aids and just boosting my confidence by voicing your belief in my ability to actually do it i wasn t so sure when i started this some 7 weeks ago i m not going to stop riding either although you won t hear about it every time i m on the bike only when i peddle someplace interesting if you still want to give to the cause it s not too late click here to go to my personal page then click on

bike rack at randall s today the adventure was practical i strapped blue belle to pearl and drove to champion toyota on ih35 between ben white and stassney i left pearl for her 45 000 mile check up and inspection sticker donned helmet and gloves dropped my purse and water bottles into the basket and took off thanks to google maps which will track a bike route with the click of a button i had turn by turn instructions on how to get home without having to brave a major roadway there were so many twists and turns i had to keep the map in my hand at one point i didn t like the looks of where the map wanted to go so i took over and quickly outsmarted myself as usual my iphone gps got me out of that trouble i did get to see some really interesting south austin neighborhoods though lots of large men walking mean looking dogs they all waved and said hi back when i whizzed past with a bright smile and good morning i took the long way home via a stop at the hair dresser for a haircut belle was locked to her first bike rack no longer a virgin followed by a trip along 45 and the veloway for good measure before stopping to have my first mani pedi of the 2012 sandal season no bike rack there so i locked belle to the grocery cart corral at randall s note to randall s you really need a bike rack as i left another bike came in and took my place it was like parking in new york city i learned about a neat little area that i rode through on my way to escarpment from davis lane i took a side trip through karst preserve at western oaks a small area with a sink hole and a cave that feeds into the edward s aquifer no sign said bikes were not permitted so i took off down the gravel pathway into the woods i did have to portage over some stairs but the short ride was really sweet the big fund raising ride is only two days away today i did 20 miles saturday i ll be taking on 29 miles from reunion ranch in georgetown you can still sponsor me i have 250 more to raise to reach my

veloway now that bluebonnets are gone i found a much more interesting route to the veloway from home today i take slaughter to beckett turn right on beckett to whatever the next major street is take a left and then another left onto exposition i then rode exposition all the way to 45 crossed that and headed north to la crosse and the veloway ten miles total today i sped around the 3 mile long veloway three times cutting the last trip around short to take the back route through bowie high school to home i can be home in less than 10 minutes that way a view of the veloway s mount everest from the top after i successfully climbed it on my bike my big accomplishment today was to climb mount everest three times while my picture on the right doesn t look that steep from the top it s a tough climb you have to make a 90 degree turn first which means you have to slow down a bit before pushing your way up i ve figured out just how fast to go to make the turn and then up the hill the last time around i was going to stop at the bottom and photograph it but at the last minute dropped into low gear and headed up the slope it felt great i now feel completely prepared for saturday s 26 mile ride there s still time to contribute click here to go to my personal page and donate to hill country ride for aids i just have 250 to go to meet my fund raising goal please help suzanne freeman

comment last official training ride piece o cake posted on april 22 2012 by suzanne freeman bridge over lady bird lake austin texas taken from congress ave bridge it s hard to believe but saturday s 12 mile training ride was a piece o cake yes i had a few tough hills to pull but the overall ride was easy and short i ve come a long way from 6 weeks ago when i felt overwhelmed by an 8 mile trek on relatively flat roads view from the last bit of the last training ride before the big race a shot of downtown austin from south of the river i showed up late and without a map because i printed the wrong one and went to the wrong meeting place first fortunately i was early so i made it to the real meet up just in time i love smart phones thanks to dale i didn t need a map he pretty much stuck with me until i was far enough along to find my way back to the bike shop on lamar and barton springs road i was not the slowest one this time either thanks chelsea for making me feel like a pro for the first time ever in chelsea s defense she was riding a rebuilt bike on its first foray since being found rusting in a field she spent 4 months rebuilding it it s a beauty too just needs a few more adjustments chelsea and i hung together walking a few really tough hills and taking the short route i wanted to do the longer one but had to meet the family at a bridal shop to watch my niece try on gowns i ve never seen so much satin and sparkle in my life but that s another story and another set of pictures for another time and place she is going to be a beautiful bride lesson learned on this ride use gloves i tried out my new gloves and was so much happier at the end of the ride my hands didn t fall asleep or get raw and sweaty some of that funny equipment bicyclists wear is for good reason i may end up in spandex yet not this is the last week before the big ride on saturday interested in donating a few bucks to the cause click here to go to my personal page on the hill country

school kids you can get to the veloway from behind bowie high school yesterday i cruised out of my garage on blue and lit out for a 22 mile ride along slaughter lane to south loop 1 it only takes me 10 minutes to get to the veloway from home but this time i went the long 12 mile route i headed south on 45 south loop 1 to rr 1626 where i turned around and headed back north then i took a few turns on the veloway before cutting through the back way to bowie high school and home which is only 3 miles from the school according to my speedometer i rode 22 miles altogether to use the secret passage from bowie hs to the veloway you have to ford a wash except there is rarely any water in it i successfully pulled the hill that gave me trouble on my first ever training ride which made me feel like i ve made some tremendous progress i had only one problem and that was in my right hand it feel asleep twice so i bought a pair of riding gloves last night when i went to the hill country ride orientation i also bought a flat tire repair kit to hook onto my bike seat so i m all ready for ...
