Rode this morning and saw two coyotes by the tricky climb between the trees after snaggle rock. Weather was perfect. Very few riders today

Texas' state parks are desperately underfunded, but shouldn't be. Palo Duro, Big Bend Ranch, Pedernales Falls, Government Canyon, Colorado Bend, Franklin Mountains, Hill Country SNA, Seminole Canyon, Caprock Canyons are state parks with viable mountain biking trail systems. This post lays out why state parks are underfunded and what can be done about it; here's the gist of the post below: On November 5, Texans will have the opportunity to vote YES on Proposition 5 to protect Texas' natural areas, water quality, and history. Importantly, this requires no new taxes or fees. Prop. 5 will dedicate revenue from the SGST [Sporting Goods Sales Tax], so those dollars can only be used by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Historical Commission on public parks and historic sites, and not for any other purposes. As noted above, there are parks waiting to be opened, and at least one of these has great trail potential. Without adequate funding, the development and opening of these parks will proceed at a glacial pace.

The patient was fine, he brought his own latex gloves

I bet Yosmithy has a test to diagnose if your ribs are broken too.

DBuratti made the comment out of jest and it stuck!

It wouldn't be for money. It wouldn't be for world peace. It would be to have never suffered the lingering injuries from my motorcycle wreck. I can normally ride about 2.5 hours before the spinal nerve pain starts. Today on 1/4 Notch, I turned a little wrong about 20 minutes in and felt that spasm hit. I rode another hour and a half but it kinda sucked. Anyway, that's my whining for the day. Thanks for listening.

There's a video

Hold the mutha-f'in-phone! You're saying it's twice as hard as it gets credit for?!

I shudder to think what you do to check for hemorrhoids.

Yep, this one is on my radar. We really need more funding for the parks - stealing it to prop up some other program has always annoyed me.

Don't forget to read the Group Ride Rulebook first!!

Hell's yea man. I wasn't working all summer and enjoyed the place alone in the AM every day. I am starting a new gig Monday and will miss my retirement. Alot of days saw no one. Now back to the evenings and secret times I know none of you fools go ride Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Rib injuries are no joke man! Even if they aren't broken they can hurt like hell for a couple of weeks. Hope you heal up quickly.

Guess I'm on the young side at 42...

On second thought...I might be right in the middle of the age range out there. I think that 45 is the new 35. It's all about clean living! However, I'm still a Mary Anne fan over Ginger every day of the week.

Dude, you need to get a new neurologist. That is not at all how they check for concussions.

Dude your kindness is once again overwhelming. You gonna ask the same guy who helped you with your ED? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I'll just ask one of the homeless folks out there to perform a quick rectal exam on him prior to the ride. If he flinches, then we'll know he's good to ride.

Well, since this area is on Church land, maybe just call it: "The Ark"

It's funny you ask. I rode the first part of DD last night for the first time in a long while, and it actually flows so much better then I remember. Of course there's still the ridiculous parts. I started at the bailout and headed west. Even though it was oppressive hot last night, I still have a smile for most of what I rode. you can always bail out at the end of Picnic X, and ride that back, or head up over EBD, and connect straight over to the connector to Rim job. You'll likey, or I'll give you your money back

This thread reminds me why I like to ride solo or in very small groups

My wife meditates every day and always tells me I need to try it. I tell her I already do every day, but I am in motion while I do it.

Thailand GP this weekend, and Marc had a HELL of a crash in FP1.
