best of Austin

There's a poll going on with the Hill Country Trail Runners (of which I am still a member), thought I'd share my answers since a few of my readers are from A-town. Results should be in an upcoming issue of TrailRunner magazine. For the HCTR guys who read this, write in the Burnet Road Challenge. It'd be awesome to see that listed in a trail running magazine!

TRAILS:
1. Barton Creek Greenbelt - endless technical trails within a few miles of downtown
2. Walnut Creek - knew it like the back of my hand and still got lost all the time
3. Town Lake - never know what you'll see on that easy ten mile loop

Restaurants:
1. Crown & Anchor - best bacon cheeseburgers in TX
2. Hyde Park Bar & Grill - awesome fries
3. Deep Eddy's - not sure if they even serve food, but they always had half price Lone Star pitchers after Hill of Life repeats

Races:
1. Burnet Road Challenge - only the strong survive!
2. Bandera 100k - even people from Colorado bitch about how hard that race is (not me, of course)
3. Rogue Trail Series - always had a blast at these
