    Random Bike Pictures

    in Mountain Biking Discussion

    If anyone has problems uploading images, please let me know and I'll be glad to help.  If an image isn't attaching even though it seems to be uploading fine, it's probably an issue with the image, such as being an unsupported image format (although that's rare).  I upload images to forums running this software from my phone all the time and haven't had any issues. 

    For the iPhone there is a setting for the camera, "Formats", with two options, "High Efficiency" and "Most Compatible".  Mine is set to "Most Compatible", but not sure if that's the default..

    There are three ways to upload images when composing a post.  You can click the "Choose files..." link that will prompt you for a file.  You can drag and drop images directly into your post.  And you can copy/paste images as well (place the text cursor where you want the image to appear, then paste it right into your post).

    Thank you, and that photo makes it clearer to me where this was.  Maybe someone is trying to protect the roots of the tree by blocking that line?  Of course, the line around it also has roots.  How long has that alternate line been there?

    If it’s an unsanctioned trail then I guess I can’t be that upset. Pretty bummed though. That downhill from the top of that trail to the bcrt was a banger. 

    Yeah, I used that trail all the time, but not a huge loss.  It was nice, though, as it allowed you to bypass the BCRT for that segment..

    I'm more concerned about the apparent breakdown in the relationship between Williamson County and local trail builders.

    Sounds like we got a volunteer to buy some signs🤪

    I'm happy to contribute financially to signs.  I'm a big advocate for trail signage, and very much appreciate when there's good signage on trails I've never ridden before (such as when riding out of state).

    I mean I’m just super grateful that people built a badass network of trails out there for me to ride so I’m not going to complain 

    Same, I enjoy the trails, but even after having ridden them many times I still sometimes get turned around a bit.  I'd be glad to help with signage.

    Went for a “quick” ride on suburban ninja on my lunch break. Ended up getting lost AF and wandering around for an hour and a half. Almost missed a conference call. My Strava map cracked me up 

    Yeah, it's very easy to get "lost" out there.  I really wish they'd take some time to put some signage out there at all the intersections, as well as name the trails.  That would be a big help.

    Give Round Rock feedback for new Behrens Ranch Metro Park

    in Mountain Biking Discussion

    Posted

    If you're in Round Rock, I just received an email soliciting feedback for the upcoming 224 acre Behrens Ranch Metro Park that is currently in development:

    https://publicinput.com/5980

    You can rank your priorities, so you can put "Trails" at the top in one question and "Mountain Bike Trals / Singletrack" at the top for another question.  And there's a comment section at the end, where I mentioned it sure would be nice to have some mountain biking trails in Round Rock (there's pretty much nothing now, perhaps some of the eastern stuff at Brushy Creek is in Round Rock, but most if not all of it is in Cedar Park).

    The SATN SOCIAL

    So...how was the event? It tore me up to miss it, but I was out of town. How did it go? Did anyone do the Social challenge or did everyone just succumb to lure of the Hunt? Was there a big turnout? WERE the trails and weather okay? 

    I'm also curious, as I was also out of town yesterday.  I'd really like to do all that mileage someday, but it would help to ride with someone who's already familiar with the trails (or at least more familiar with them than I am, with a few exceptions of trails I do know).

    Ok, went to FB and copied the paragraph: "Russell park has been closed this last week due to open in February for some serious upgrades and maintenance."

    So , its Russell Park, NOT Cedar Breaks.  Sorry for the earlier wrong info.

    Yes, and you can ride through Russell on the trail without any issues (I did so a week ago).

    That is very interesting indeed.  Nice alternate route to Parmer if you want to ride north to Lake Georgetown.  🙂

    I wish they'd work on the missing segment of Brushy Creek Regional Trail from where it begins on Hairy Man Road over to I-35, as it's a bit of a pain to get there from east of I-35.

    After viewing some of the recent 10-20 mile rides on Suburban Ninja from Strava recently, it looks like I need to do another investigative ride out there today.

    I'm about to head out there, and we're going to hit Suburban Ninja first.  Is there new stuff out there?  I haven't hit Brushy in about two months.

    Thanks,
