You rock. Suggestion: The "like" buttons must include icons with more irony! It just doesn't feel right clicking on the "heart" button in this mountain biking forum.3 points

So, I've been joining other people called "MoJos" for regular Tuesday rides at Walnut Creek since around 2002 or 2003; while i was away from Austin from around 2006 to 2012, most of the original "MoJos" are still great friends.. Unfortunately, the MoJo onlinecommunity has been corrupted, so I thought I'd start a thread here about it. Tonight's ride included six different kinds of sausage, Debbie's spicy pickles, and a rare appearance by DirtFace, Good time, good times. D2 points

I've installed a dark theme for the forum, for those who prefer that over a white or light background. You can select it at the bottom of the page by clicking the "Theme" link, which will result in a popup being displayed. Pick "Deflection - Dark" to try it out.

Owners built the green and blue. We (Trail Party ) are building two blacks....they're gonna be dope as hell. It has taken a ton of fantastic volunteer support to get this far. Anyone who wants a preview can show up to dig day. 4 hrs trail work gets you shuttles. The race is gonna sell out. Don't dick around. Everyone wants to know about the lift. Parts are on-site. There is no firm completion date at this time. Hang in there. Gonna be worth it!2 points

Is this a new recurring group ride or just a one-time thing? What time? Can I wear my BDSM gear while riding? I have a hydration-pack-ball-gag combo I've been wanting to try out! -cls2 points

I rode the first part of the green trail. Still too loose. Needs some rain and to be ridden in. Will be a nice easy ride. The blue was amazing. I am not up to drops or jumps yet. But I can't stop thinking about how much fun they blue was. The blacks are going to be awesome, just not for me yet.1 point

The Blacks are above my pay grade. But the Blue is the most fun I have ever had on a bike.1 point

LOL ani-males. Is that Japanese dudes with spikey hair or are you more of a goat man? Also, my parents are both dead, so don't tell me about how my mom was in bed last night - unless it's just to say "really dusty". -cls1 point

I agree, I don't like the heart button either, I'm certainly going to change that one at a minimum. ..Al1 point

I agree with this - I don't intentionally go looking for stuff, but when I see that the Pay It Forward thread has a new post I go look at it. Moving it to a different place will result in less activity and eventual disuse. I actually feel the same way about the sales items. Look at how often people post to the For Sale forum and then cross post to Voodoo. Nobody really looks at the sales forum. But then ... Forum Administration is much like trail building. If I'm not going to offer to help set up (and I'm not), then I should be happy with the design that you come up with (and I will be). If you choose to leave a few tree gates along the way, I'll happily live with them. Thanks for all your work setting this up and getting us moved over!1 point

It's a little extreme, but you could always try adjusting your foot size. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding1 point

Can you slide the cleat any further inboard to move your foot out since they also have a left right adjustment? You could also put a washer in there to move the pedal out a bit. I have done both due to heel rub.1 point

The 2018 Dragon Slayer “It’s the Texas version of Leadville, only harder” A grassroots ultra-endurance trail ride Brought to you by EnduraRace LLC USA Cycling permit # 2018-1939 “It’s the Texas version of Leadville, only harder”. The folks at EnduraRace are up to their usual tricks again and bringing back another soul crushing ultra-marathon trail ride at the IMBA Epic Goodwater. Apart from looking somewhat like a dragon on the map, Goodwater is a bike and body destroying loop of relentless rock-gardens amid technical climbs and descents. One lap alone is punishing. The challenge is to ride three. Each 27mile lap climbs more than 1500’ and few of the climbs are easy. The Dragon is a dangerous trail that is best suited for an intermediate to advanced rider. It is not beginner friendly. The 27-mile-long IMBA Epic Goodwater loop of Lake Georgetown leaving from Russell Park located at 2101 CR 262, Georgetown, TX 78633. Park between the dam and the ranger station outside the park gates. Camping is available at several sites around Lake Georgetown, but the sites at Russell Park are the ones within a short riding distance to the event. http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/georgetown/Recreation/Camping/ SCHEDULE: May 4th 6pm: 2018 Registration Opens online at www.USACycling.org Guided pre-ride laps 8am-noon on May 19th, May 26th, November 3rd, November 10th same location, weather allowing November 16th, 2018 Online Registration closes at midnight.

No affiliation with Kona, just like their platform and fit so i buy them, ride them for a bit and sell. I use these to secure the bikes. https://cycloc.com/ps/bike-storage-systems/3-cycloc-hero.html Sorry for forgetting the price. Thats what i get for copy/paste/posting from pinkbike.1 point

On another forum I run we have a "Free Games and Stuff" forum, where people can start a thread when they want to get rid of some items (usually for the cost of shipping, since it's not a "local" forum). When someone gets rid of the items, they can update the post that it's gone and it can be locked so it doesn't ride back up. Thread title will contain the name of the item (or type of items) being given away. There's a 'Marketplace' group here (with the "Bikes for Sale" and "Bike Components" forums), and we could do a similar thing here. I don't want to put every thread in "Mountain Biking". ..Al1 point

Has anyone investigated the feasibility of constructing some tasty singletrack along the Brushy Creek Regional Trail? I've started looking into it officially since there is a severe shortage of singletrack up there. The main trail is nice, but it does not offer much in the way of challenge and/or riding experience. I was wondering if anyone had officially looked into having legal singletrack built and what his/her experience has been? (Was the proposal met with complete opposition, open-mindedness, reservation)?? I personally, along with some riders I have talked to along the trail, would LOVE to see some nice singletrack up that way....the land is PERFECT for building sustainable, flowy singletrack from what I can see.1 point
