Part of where I got the idea from was Keystone Bike Park back in 2011. They have a lot of features built with cut tree logs, and the logs get exposed, either intentionally or not. http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/68-dh-urban-trials-bmx-dirt-jumping/90258-vail-keystone-winter-park.html#post1044056 I don't know where this photo was taken (from the Internet), but these are the size and straightness of logs that we'd ideally be using. Here's an indoor version at Ray's in Cleveland (although slightly different, with logs on the up and middle). Here's a flat ground version, but it shows the idea of jumping them. http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/14-austin-voodoo/95383-walnut-creek-wednesday-workday-june-19-a-2.html

I rode at 8 am, not a single rider in 90 minutes. Trails were great. Only mulligan was muddy in the usual spots. Did all picnic, snail, 1/4 notch and everything was perfect.

That sounds as plausible an answer as any I've heard. Alternatively though couldn't they have just held the actual events off the RV site?

A comment from one of the companies working on the trail states that they expect to be done mid-March.

The one in the garage is a GFCI. I've had to replace several outlets for the same reason. I finally bought a 10-12 pack of them because most of them were those crappy stab-ins.

Liar... there's nothing straight on peddlers lol

Was out last night they r perfect, I dint think brushy got rain like we did at the house Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chilly temps and wind after the sun goes down means ABW for post-ride festivities.

Mine is a 22mm x 6mm so probably not the right size. If anyone needs it I can leave it out on my porch.

New flow on Inner and Outer Logs loops is GREAT! Props to the builders for keeping Walnut fun.

This has been a concept I have had for a long time, and is the basis of what we're doing on the Outer Log Loops: a log feature where there is dirt up, logs in the middle, and dirt down. You can optionally go slower and ride the logs, go faster and skim them, or pull up and jump them. On the first one (at the beginning of Outer Log Loops), we spent one 3-hour Austin Ridge Rider work day cutting and gathering logs, then another ARR work day building it (Jan 19): https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=467776887228151&id=278952176110624 https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=464574400881733&id=278952176110624 We intend on making more upgrades (like more dirt on the right side of the logs to hold them solid. (The little dirt kicker that was added to the top left side was an unauthorized addition, and I've had several conversations with the guy who added it. I'm going to re-do it further to the left, but not tearing what he did down until that time). There are also plans to improve the second one (after the 180 berm). So, basically, both will get upgraded to version 2.0. (The drawing says 3 feet tall, but right now, they're only about 2 feet tall). (The drawing has two features back-to-back, but on Outer Log, it's just a single feature.) --Cullen Austin Ridge Riders, Trail Steward, Walnut Creek Park

I used to hear them called "toe cages", which makes more sense to me than "clips".

Not so new to those of us old enough to remember... Yamaha: Kawasaki: I was more offended by the fact that those old dudes still have that kind of riding in them.
