I just heard from someone that Dave's Loop was being closed today by WILCO. Anyone aware of this? Is this fake news?!?!?!

Is that Dave's Ditch or something else? 

Where's the rope so you can rappel down the rock face?

Why buy signs to note trails that are going to be built on?

What's going to be built on?

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 don't think, "It's cool to get lost!" is a really good reason not to have signage.

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.

What is the race in February?

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:

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).

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).

Check out the Facebook posting.  I think that Cedar Breaks Park is closed.  I may head out Sat a.m. myself!

Which Facebook posting?

I see this trail as a huge benefit to the Brushy Creek Single Track, we'll no longer have to ride through a neighborhood to get from SN to the rest of Brushy, how cool is that.

Yes, that will be nice.

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.

Thank you!

Where in the hell is that jump line?!?

Did 20 miles out at Brushy today..  Didn't see anything new in the Suburban Ninja area, but didn't really explore beyond what I normally ride there.

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,

So it's YOUR fault.

I'd gladly accept the blame if I came home with a new bike, but alas, I did not.

Looks like rain is a real possibility overnight. I'm going to take the gravel bike out and explore the concrete/etc. trails out there.

Yeah, really sucks, as I just got home today and haven't been able to ride in over a month.  Figures we'd get a deluge tomorrow.

Sure man... Authority... It's a wonderful thing.

Now maybe we can let the Brushy Creek thread get back to Brushy Creek talk.

You're more than welcome to start your own forum if you want to integrate religion into mountain biking.  And, yes, please do get back to Brushy Creek instead of complaining about suppression of religious/political talk here.

Thank you,

And just to make it clear... I in no way think that saying that I love God is religious.

Good for you, but please keep it off the forum here.

Thanks,

I was simply responding to the above comment, Albert.

That's fine, but let's keep politics and religion off this forum and focus on enjoying mountain biking.  If you (or anyone else) see religious or political posts, feel free to report them.  I don't see every post here.  Usually I'm around and can take care of such things relatively quickly.

my kingdom for a downvote/neg-rep option

I'm not going to add a "downvote" option, as that never goes well on forums I've participated in.

Can we get the ability to close/delete our own threads?

Maybe close, but not delete.  If you really need a thread deleted for some reason, you can either report it or write me directly.

 ..Al

Sorry for the lack of moderation the past few weeks, I was extraordinarily busy preparing for and attending a large video game show in Portland.  Just got back last night and saw all the religious / political crap @RidingAgain posted, most of which I think I've cleaned up now.  @RidingAgain This will be your only warning to refrain from posting those topics again on this forum or I will permanently ban you.
