Yeah, I had sleeves on my arms and they were able to bite through those no problems. I didn't always have gloves on my hands, so that's how they got me there. I was wearing jeans, so they didn't get me on my legs. Guess next time I need to wear a denim shirt! Because it wasn't hot enough already! 😉

I assume the course is not marked in any significant way and you need to make sure to have cue sheets? How hard is it to follow the course?

Yeah, I didn't realize it until this morning, but I have around ten bites on my arms and hands from those bastards.

Great, glad you like it! I plan on installing some additional themes down the road as well. ..Al

Great, thanks for the report!

Awesome, glad you had a great ride today! And kudos for helping the injured rider you encountered. I don't know what it is about Brushy Creek, but twice now I've encountered riders who were bleeding, one quite profusely (which was scary and required calling an ambulance), both on Deception.

I've used the Strava Heatmap to locate trails people are riding that I wasn't aware of.

Thanks for coming out! I would have been out there much longer without your help, or I simply wouldn't have gotten it all done.

Wasn't able to make it out today, after doing trail work at LGT in the morning, riding yesterday evening, and plans to ride tomorrow morning, I needed a break. I'll endeavor to get out for next week's ride, though. Hope you guys had fun!

A cheeseburger!!! I have done a PB&J sandwich in the CamelBak for long (usually over five hours) rides before. PB&J tastes incredible after you've been riding for hours. 😄

That looks interesting. I use MapMyRide to create routes for longer road/gravel/mountain bike rides, but since most trails in Austin are not in Google, it's not very useful in that department. I'm curious how the route creation is for mountain biking and how well the app-based navigation is when you're on singletrack. ..Al

Good to know, thanks .

I'm enjoying reading the feedback. I may not agree with all of it, but many good points have been raised so far. This was a first pass at a logo, and we'll make another.k I'd prefer to get it right the first time, as I don't want to spend time adjusting it later. And I want to use it not just for this site, but for social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) as well as stickers and such. ..Al

Thanks for the additional information. I would have been impressed if this was done at Lake Georgetown. The rock work does look very well done!

Throet and I got back out there today and cleared the remaining trees between Cedar Breaks and Crockett Springs. Trail should now be good to go between Cedar Breaks and Cedar Hollow. Hopefully there aren't any more trees down beyond that, but there may be some elsewhere on the trail. We also cleaned up the trail across the small creek shortly before Crockett Springs (heading west). Here's some photos of downed trees and our work:
