Sorry for the over posting, but pretty pumped on this process and figured I should post some of the pictures! IMG_4805.MOV

Heck yeah! I feel like I've looked at your line before and decided it was impossible. I guess not!! Thanks for sharing the stoke. Pretty sure my first attempt looked pretty similar lol. I've ended up laying in the trees to the left a couple times too 😆

Mid 40's this morning, and mostly empty trails at WC. It got up to the high 50's pretty quickly.

It is shameful that folks can't pack their s#!te out! Spent a couple hours cleaning trash between mopac and Balcones today. I was planning to clear snow downed junipers off the creek side trail in Balcones and ended up with 2 trash bags full. Got the trees cleared too.

I ended up going with @Teamsloan recommendation and cut them down to a kid friendly 115mm! Can't wait to see the finished product on your paint job!

Rode BCGB and hit a few places that I have not ridden for a few years. Wow. What a difference. Too often we get caught up in riding the same lines and the same trails. When you try something you have not been on in a while it's pretty cool. Maybe you want to shred your queso, and then you realize that you haven't been on that trail for a long time. My advice to all of you: remember where you used to ride and try that again.

Thanks but I took care of the two downed trees this morning. Didn’t walk all of it, so if you’re aware of any of low branches feel free to take care of them.

Let me know if you wanna hand with clearing it.

Graveled out my Kid's old school K2. Flat bars and 2x10 drive train. 26" x 1.75" tires. Should be good for the Mid-South gravel ride in March.

Go clear them, Gum Drop is not part of the official trails. I know you know how to build and maintain trail 😉 I was just telling someone today how much you were involved in building of 1/4 Notch.

There is so much out there - we are so lucky with what we have - rode ATX to Canterbury over lunch today - just a beautiful area.

This^ I get bored of trails pretty easily and like to switch things up often as possible. Even though a lot of the trails here are similar, they change quite a bit due to erosion and use. Went back to san marcos and was all smiles with what they'd done out there since the last ride. Also go back and forth between flats and SPDs on our regular trails just to try stay sharp.

I had meant to reply to your post a while back, and running into an article finally prompted me to. I grew up listening to whatever my parents listened to as I've mentioned before (Beatles, Mexican popular music, classical music, Mexican classic ballads, etc.) At some point I got into Rock music: Queen, The Police (though they sound more like Jazz in their early days), David Bowie, etc. At some point I was all into the hair bands: Cinderella, Ratt, Poison, Motley Crue, etc. I never got into Black Sabbath but I did like Deep Purple. 8th and 9th grade I had some heads in my apartment complex and we rode the buses together, and they got me into Metallica. I loved it. Maybe 10 years later I ran into a school friend whom I hadn't seen in 10 years, and we both remarked how embarrassing it was to have like Twisted Sister. I guess it was right at the time for us being tweens. At that point we were in San Antonio (a much harder rocking town than Austin IMO), Guns-n-Roses and the start of Grunge, I still remember 99.5 KISS ads for Soundgarden at the Sunken Gardens Theater. It's all an evolution in taste. 35 years later or so, and I love the old Black Sabbath. To think of how early they were (I bet most gen-x don't realize how early they were) is just amazing. I would recommend you re-visit Black Sabbath. Here's the article that prompted this post: https://www.theringer.com/2021/1/14/22230652/metallica-black-album-enter-sandman-history-podcast PS I still think Jethro Tull winning the first Grammy for Heavy Metal over Metallica And Justice For All is a travesty. Fight me. With that: PS
