There is a very effective solution I've used on Peddlers Pass

Someone should absolutely take you up on this! The event will be super fun and the steep stuff on the big hill is just plain bad ass to ride.

http://www.austinridgeriders.com/ Once construction is completed ARR will be the overseeing the trail once we are done, all the volunteer work days are coordinated by them and will be posted on their site. 🤘

“Mark it 8, Dude”

RPR Range has opened to the public on the weekends up to 700 yards. Then on Thursday they will be opening up to 1150 yards. Plus several tactical bays, and hand gun bays. So get your ride on, and your pew pew on!!

Wow. just wow. The reason for the closure was a property owner complaint to the County Commissioner, Terry Cook, commissioner1@wilco.org https://www.wilco.org/comm1 In the mtg y'day Wilco Parks and Rec director Russell Fishbeck 512-943-1922, Cell 512-409-1124 russell.fishbeck@wilco.org and Michael Young Supervisor 512-943-1923 michaelyoung@wilco.org advised Cullen and I that they intend to close this section of trail. They asked that we work with the local communities to help communicate, faciliate, and ultimately maintain the closure. We asked they give us advanced notice before doing so, in order to get communication out with dates, maps, description of the closure. They agreed to give us a heads up before proceeding with the actual closure. They also were not interested in discussing an alternative route further from the houses. It was also clear they have no intention of allowing any future ARR development on their parks. With this latest development, including their willful deceit I am no longer going to continue to be the Trail Steward. I cannot continue to work with these folks, from day one they have made us feel like a thorn in their side. My decision is not a knee-jerk reaction, it's not based purely on this occurrence, and it is with extremely heavy heart (more than you can imagine) that I step away.

Sad to hear this, but I'll respect the closure. I've kinda known that that trail wasn't ever made official, but I always wondered why... any chance you could satisfy my curiosity with an explanation of the county's logic in approving everything but that one section of trail?

Absolutely 100% FAKE NEWS. Funny, the "today" part too. I met with the county this week (y'day). No existing official trail segment is going to be closed. This is not supposed to be public news yet, but obviously rumors have started. 5.0 or Up and Over, the short segment that connects Double Down to The Rim via the high ridge is planned to be closed (again). the trail segment has been officially closed since the trail become legit. This segment was closed right away and we maintained the closure for the first year and then just let it be. The county didn't care until the Commissioner received a complaint. PLEASE be patient and wait for an OFFICIAL Announcement before you contact the county commissioner...I mean, assuming you want to. ARR will be working with the county to enforce this closure and we understand it's out of the Parks and Rec hands, but a decision made by the Commissioner's Court.

I use Altex a lot, but only for datacenter stuff. They have a good assortment of fiber and other required bits.

Not sure if intros are really a thing here, but I'm Mitch. Early 40s, recently got back into mountain biking and replaced an ancient FS Stumpy w/ a 2019 Jeffsy. I've poked around here and on the old Mojo site but haven't posted anything. Outside of bikes I'm into fly fishing and racing a vintage Formula Ford.

That's a pretty cool vintage rod! I like the built in fly bins...never seen that before in a case like that. I mostly ride Walnut b/c I live in NW Hills, it's close, and I know the layout from when I used to ride it years ago (although it took a little while to figure out again w/ the giant concrete path that is there now). Probably going to hit Pace Bend soon w/ a buddy that rides and I'd like to check out Brushy. I really WANT to hit up NW Arkansas. I have an old friend in Fayetteville...just have to find the time to get up there.

Yep, I did the Banduro on a Scalpel with a lefty.

decided to do June instead.

That web site does not get updated often. Workday are posted at www.meetup.com. I think you have to sign up for a free account to view. (I turned off emails so they don't spam me.)

I'll post an update as soon as we know when the volunteer days are going to be, ARR is overseeing that portion, I believe they are trying to decide what days are best for their staff.

People are cutting B lines all over 1/4 Notch.

https://www.enduroforkseals.com/products/tools/rear-suspension-tools/SBT-HS1.html It's not cheap, but I'm kind of drooling over it.

I forgot what that rock feature toward the beginning of 1/4 notch is called. The one that people kept disturbing. Well, someone is back at it again. I went through there E-W around 5pm and they'd moved the big rock on the west side to the right, leaving a big hole on the left. I moved everything back as far as I could remember and it was still good when I went back through it W-E.

I miss Laguna Coast.

Saw Ponca and it piqued my interest. Looks like this year’s trip might be out west so I may have it on a back burner for a while.

If you let me know when you have work days coming up I can post it on my site as well to help drive more attention.

Let me know when you're going, as long as Deb doesn't have an appt I'll join you.

Works well on the GX eagle 12 sp. too! Haha, The Bronson blows me away every time I ride it. Love me Sram gears.

Thanks we appreciate it! Wait until you see the entire trail from top to bottom! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3192018600809012&id=100000027111053&sfnsn=mo

Can now say that eagle 12spd chains shifts smooth as buttah on 11spd sram👍

I saw this yesterday. It’s very intimidating looking down from the top. Holy shit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's big enough to make a fun indoor park.

Where's the rope so you can rappel down the rock face?

There's a "I'm a Huge Pussy Line" to the right. What's the problem?

I was very surprised to see that yesterday when I rode. Plenty of space to avoid it Or even just easily roll it. I got some courage together and cleared it. This section made me love walnut all over again! Super stoked and many thanks to the builders

I was part of the trail crew that worked with Cullen building that first feature. I can assure you that he is VERY cautious about what gets built out there and that it’s safe and fun for riders of all skill levels. In fact, he built up those features in phases to allow people time to get used to them and not surprise anyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
