I'm very confused on who sits where and grabs what handlebars! https://austin.craigslist.org/bop/7542820918.html

Hello all, I've not seen much EB talk over here....I don't know if its lack of interest or quiet stealth training?? But one think I DO KNOW FOR CERTAIN is that if you plan to ride the EB, then familiarity with Thumper can go a long LONG way! This coming Saturday is your big opportunity to get out here for an official EB Thumper Pre-Ride. If you should up and join in with us not only will you get to follow along the official Thumper EB route, but you can get some really good trail-info that will help you 'know things' come EB day. Hope you see you there! -CJB _______________________________________________________ Official Thumper EB Pre-Ride: THIS SATURDAY OCTOBER 15th Meeting location: Duck Pond in Arboretum (behind Renaissance Hotel). Meeting time: 8:45am (w/roll out at 9am) Route Plans: Leave Duck Pond and head down 360 to Spicewood. Then ride over to St Eds first, then over to Youpon and up to Thumper for a civilized lap. We will do our best to stop at some of the "confusion spots" and give insight into the route. But I can't 100% say that this is a 'no drop ride'; it is nearly impossible to pull that off at Thumper. Be fully prepared to be self-sufficient, even though we won't plan to go fast. I may potentially be doing some more markings and trail adjustments during this ride.

Who is the trail building company? I have a significantly sized project on a resort near the Pedernales I'd like to talk to them about.

Thanks for all the suggestions. KOM is who I was thinking about. The project is near Hamilton Pool. I wish it would result in more mtb trails for us, but it's all private land. The land manager is buddies with some guy named Lance.

S&S Trail Services is also local. Ryan Spates is the owner. https://sstrails.com/

Are you talking about KOM Trails? Don’t know what their alias is on here, but you might check out their website / social media.

I always carry new spare cleats on a trip, and I have a single used cleat and bolt in my osprey pack and saddle bags.
