Urban Assaulted :o)

This tough and incredibly fun crew from the Big D headed to Austin this weekend for the annual Urban Assault Race! (Think combo bike race, scavenger hunt & zany obstacle courses all in one crazy event.) Click here for the video!
A few others thought this was a cool race to play in (1300 of them)! Gearing up the game faces
Greg, Candace, Ryun & Amanda
Monkey Matt & I unusually amped up this early in the mornThe view forward in our starting position ...
... and the view looking back at the sea of riders ready to roll.
Obstacle #1: Bumper Ball Pick-up
Whew ... got our first bead and racin' on ...
Human Wheel-Barrow and Keg Walkin' fun ...
Tire track toughness ... Dana captured it best on her blog of the race! Yes, those are battle wounds from street rolling & being mowed down by your own bike :o)
Let's just say I'm head over heels for a boy named Matty B ;o)
Who doesn't love big kid Big Wheels?!
... or a water slide finish line!?
"The Gutter Bunnies" bringin' it home ...
Ryan and Amanda's big finish!
Vijay coming in strong ...
Here's what it's all about ... 'It's a pedal powered urban trek and scavenger hunt that involves obstacle course challenges that test your wits.' A full day of laughter, endurance and relying on your bike and friends. Check out Dana & Vijay's "Been There, Assaulted That" blog for more pics and videos of the zany adventures.
