I still need to get out there, maybe this weekend. However, will have to see how much rain we get overnight. Looks like it'll be pretty nice both Saturday and Sunday!

Would be great to have someone to ride with! Yeah, the OFT2 launch is an absolute must watch for me. I'm actually considering driving down to Starbase. But if not, I hope it goes up in the morning so I can ride in the afternoon. I'll let you know what I end up doing.

I'm planning on going out there on Friday, probably around 11am or so.

Not sure how much rain fell out there over the weekend, but the weather is looking nice for the remainder of this week, do you think it'll still be too wet/damp to go out before Thursday or Friday?

How's the trail today in terms of dryness? I'm disappointed that it's going to rain tonight...

Great updates, thank you! I had planned on going out there yesterday to take advantage of the beautiful weather (and figured it should have been dry enough), but discovered right before loading my bike onto my car that my rear brake wasn't working at all (lever all the way to the handlebar with no movement of calipers). Was able to get it fixed, but not with enough time to head out to Smithville, so that will need to wait for another day. Ended up riding Suburban Ninja instead. Look forward to soon enjoying everything out there and seeing everything new since my last visit!

He's on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008168020388 That's a rather big section. 😄 I will send him a text and let him know, but if you want to do the work yourself, I'm sure he'd be happy to have the help, as long as you prune any branches down to their base and don't leave stumps. And if you intend on using power tools, you'd definitely want to talk to him first. Of course, you probably already know this.

LOL

Yep, I completely missed this, as I was gone for two weeks and just got back Saturday night and have been super busy unpacking and getting things set back up so I can work. Only knew this because someone mentioned it in a comment on Facebook!

Thanks for all the recent updates! Haven't been out in a while, so looking forward to riding 17+ contiguous miles for the full loop! And now that it's finally cooled down a bit, it won't be quite as brutal. :)

I don't believe this.

I definitely need to try and ride out there next week, starting as early as possible! Would be fun to do the ARR ride, though.

What time are you starting? If I go out there, I want to ride everything. 😄

I need to pick a day to go out there early and ride as much as I can before the heat consumes me. 😄

Thanks for the additional information, much appreciated. I'm hitting RPR tomorrow and Lake Georgetown on Sunday, but will try to get to Rocky Hill sometime next week. I'll ping you when I know what day I'll be heading out there.
