Ok, this is legit still south Austin.  Dude selling new specialized road bike with tag still on it in the parking lot. Two people test riding it so far but I can’t find a bike shop on the area. He goes back around the corner with the bike.  I’ve seen a guy also go around the corner with a wheel and come back with the wheel, so there must be some kind of bike thing around here, but seriously doubt its a specialized dealer.
 

 

He’s a cool dude. Specialized Austin has a warehouse around there to process online purchases. 

Playing the Mohawk this Saturday.

RPR doesn’t have enough camping?

Sunday in Arkansas. One of my favorites from this year.

I always assumed the trail builder took over an existing trail made by animals who did 90% of the work for them. Cows/Sheep/Deer/Dogs run along fences. 

Some of the best spots in town are glorified deer trails. 

 Almost as good as the sheepskin seat cover they gave me years ago. 

there’s a pun somewhere 

I once saw a lady with one of those nozzle things. Tripped me out.

When they become available,  I'm going to try the box billet 9spd 11-50 wide ratio cassette and matching shifter. I have both 11spd and 12spd platforms I can experiment with cassette reduction.

12spd, particularly in flatlandia, is just dumb. 

Not too long ago, I pushed a much bigger gear than I do now and I appreciate the range the 12spd provides. Mainly a GB rider and the smaller jumps between gears helps on the stuff I like to ride.  

Pedal assist bikes are allowed in all Travis County Parks. They aren’t going away and won’t be the reason areas are shut down. Notices have been posted by the COA on trails down south and it wasn’t because of what type of bike they were riding. Turning off Strava Heat Maps and Flybys will help protect our “access”.

And that is my issue. I see them on Brushy, Walnut and BCGB. I don’t know whether they know or not, but there is a good chance that they know and don’t give an F about rules. Which ultimately threatens access for all of us.

Main trail rules?
