I'm assuming that you've already taken your friendly MX lap around Emma Long and I'd love to hear your take. But IMHO its much more defiicult that 1/4 Notch. After all, 1/4 Notch was given that monikor for a reason. 🙂 Double Down might be more comparable but even then, City Park is unique in many ways. As someone who owns an enduro bike and has frequently (in the past) ridden out there on both types of 2 wheeled machines, if you are a competent dirt bike rider then its not too bad. I've always loved riding the super tech MTB stuff, so I found that 35HP with 12" of suspension and bike luggy tires made CP feel much more easy than pedaling around a 2.2" wide tire on a hardtail MTB with 80mm of suspension like we all did back in the day. All that said, in the moto world, City Park is the crazy insane stuff that only seasoned technical riders choose to ride (at least thats how that community views it). YMMV Cheers, CJB

NEED FOLKS TO DO THIS SURVEY !! https://www.lowercoloradowrap.org/ The main thing to comment on is to extend the lakeside hike & bike trail all the way to Webberville, maybe even Bastrop. It’s a big ask, but it’ll never happen unless local governments buy more land or easement rights along the Eastern Colorado River. On behalf of Austin Ridge Riders, I have attended a couple of the in-person meetings. There are folks who want to improve/protect the river itself (let's call them the River People); the Anti-Gentrification NIMBYs (who seem to want zero changes that might encourage more people to move further east); and then there are the Trail People. We need to make sure that there are plenty of voices in the survey focused on a long-distance riverside trail. Imagine: Lady Bird Lake hike & bike trail is continued all the way to Webberville or even Bastrop (but with separated bike and hike paths in key locations, or perhaps the whole way). Bolm District Park is built out with the bike park facilities in the vision plan (pump & jump track, skills loop, concrete skate/bmx park, etc.) The Treviño Park vision plan gets implemented, with trails.

yea... was the last hold out with my posse of moto-heads... that changed as we were at PACE and was to be the only one without an e-bike. To my surprise... there with a big red bow... a new Levo with a card on it. A gift from my kid sister and nephew... they had secretly worked with my bud and TJ's. have to admit... it is a hoot... not the same, but fast and fun. now if I ride alone.. I'll take the Hightower ... but with a group of e-dudes it is a conga line through the trees.

Next weekend, there is an event for running (AM)/ biking (PM) in Georgetown. I ran a 5K with the same organization late last year and it was really well organized. Looking forward to trying one of their bike events. https://www.tejastrails.com/edge
