    Hi All! I’m an Aussie coming to town from 12th till 21st. I’m really looking forward to enjoying some great beer, bands and bike riding while I’m in town.

    What are some gigs that are on that I shouldn’t miss?

    Any local IPAs lighting your world on fire right now?

    What’s your favourite bike ride to do?

      Pinthouse Pizza has electric jellyfish IPA that is 🔥🔥🔥 and the pizza is hot too. There are a few of them around town but you can buy them at most liquor and grocery stores.

      If you’re into MTB I prefer Walnut Creek, if you prefer road Southern Walnut Creek trail from Govalle Park is great. If you feel like dying, 360 S from MoPac is a popular place to ride.

      Happy to show you around while you’re here.

      Hate to be the turd in the punchbowl, but you just missed Bike Nights at COTA. I am only mentioning it so maybe if you come back you can look up the schedule. I am sure there are plenty of awesome bike rides around though, but it’s so cool to get out on the F1/MotoGP track and do some laps. If bombing down a hill on a mountain bike is your thing, there’s Spider Mountain out past Burnet.

      Check Do512 to see events during that time. The second weekend of ACL will happen while you’re here so maybe you can snag some last second tickets.
