Congrats to Austin who is not only an international ambassador for Just a Drop , an organization combating child mortality by providing clean safe drinking water but he's also been named Grand Marshal for the 11th Annual Los Angeles River Ride.
TwoWheel Tuesday is going to be a “Two Wheel Sunday” June 5th, starting and finish at Griffith Park.
Austin's familiar with the area.
Over 2,000 riders will participate in the 11th annual Los Angeles River Ride in several different rides: A Century (100 miles), 70 Miles, Half Century(50 miles) 36 Miles, Family (15 miles) rides; as well as a kids ride and safety rodeo.
You think being Grand Marshall would get him some nifty streamers on his bike handles, but it will be more like him getting a new bike jersey.
Think he can get an extra to take home for someone who rides too?
For a guy who wears a blazer to bike in, maybe he can talk him into something extra for this ride, a bell for ? Grand Marshall sash? Cool helmet cover, maybe the Jive Turkey ?
Just a word of advice Mr. Nichols. Don't get distracted doing the elbow elbow wrist wrist (or wash the window, wash the windows touch the pearls) wave to the crowd and take a tumble off the bike. This is a two hand operation.

What did Austin have the most fun with when directing?
“I can’t tell you much about that adoption and that new baby, but it was one of the most important things in my episode that I directed and [what] I had the most fun with,” he says. “You know, I got to cast a ton of babies. We had to have twins, because some babies can only work for a short period of time. So I got to go in a room with all these babies and look at all these cute babies and go, Yes, I want that baby, I want that baby [laughs]. It gets complicated when you’re casting babies. I think at one time we had triplets. We’ve had rubber babies and all this stuff, and it’s been interesting.” Check out the rest at EW.com
For most guys a room full of babies would send them running faster than all get-out right out the door.
