about...
After participating in several Austin Hill country cruises in the past, I instantly fell in love with the area and its network of winding and scenic roads. Among the enthusiasts that gather to navigate these hills and backroads, there is a camaraderie and a sense of fun that make these events so successful.
The organizer of the previous cruises dropped out due to prior obligations, and I decided I would step up to the plate and organize the November Run in 2009. After its success and positive feedback, I knew I wanted to do this again. There is no club affiliation or membership fees, and we welcome every make and model to join us. These are not races or competitions, only spirited drives through Central Texas' most challenging and scenic backroads.
Welcome aboard, and I hope you'll join us for the next cruise!

November Run 11.14.2009
My debut event...and one of the largest attendance of any hill country cruise in Austin history. More than 90 participants attended this event, and word spread among the auto enthusiast communities statewide.
March Fun Run 03.06.2010
Smaller in size than the November Run, but much more manageable. With approximately 50 participants, this cruise was awesome. Lots of pictures and videos made this cruise a great visual event as well as a great time.

Have run into a bit of bad luck recently (pun intended), and got into a wreck with the Supra a few weeks ago. Originally I thought the damage was minor enough to repair and keep truckin, however, with the insurance company giving me the firm shaft on the settlement, and the repair bill being more than the car is worth...I had to walk away with a tiny dollar amount and no car. The frame damage was bad. Enough to total it out, and sadly, I am supra-less. where this leaves the future of my cruising with you guys...I'm unsure.

Well, with the pittance I received from Progressive Insurance, I went out and picked up an '81 Corvette in decent shape, and decided to make it a small band-aid to put over that Supra-sized whole in my heart. So, depending on how quickly I can get it running the way I want it to...we may still be on for early June!
