The real mystery is why I always choose to explore some half promising looking possible trail when I am on a tight schedule. Like bum trails that just lead to a campsite. This was a rocky jeep road I scoped out a few years ago that led to a very tiny bit of trail. The jeep road is getting a lot more traffic, apparently from power line crews and people looking for places to dump stuff. One of those where by the time you drop way down some rocky chunk and find something that looks like a trail and bushwhack a bit you are pretty much mentally committed to not backtracking. I did come out where I thought I would but 100% not worth it. Mystery solved. 👎

It's Back!!! 🤬 I was checking out some mystery trail and ended up doing quite a bit of bushwacking last night. Looks like the dish soap will be in the shower for the time being. 😐 Funny that the original post was also on March 29th.

Mission Trail San Antonio. I had a couple surprisingly fun rides down there this week.

I think the extent of the insanity finally hit me today when I saw Flat Rock has tent camping for the eclipse for $400 for 2 nights. $500 for dry RV camping.

Good news. A week or two ago I noticed a pretty big camp in this vicinity though and another somewhere else that surprised me (but I can't pinpoint at the moment) https://maps.app.goo.gl/8D2rcUTXMJi4scax8

Looks like the race course only includes a 4.5 mile loop. I do want to make it out there and check out all the trails at some point. If Buck Creek Trails are new to you, you’ll find that they offer a little bit of everything. This may be West Texas, but this is not a flat course! For the 2024 race, you will ride a 4.5 mile UCI style short track course. This course has some great spectator spots that allow you to see multiple parts of the course while staying in one place. Bring your family along to watch you race! Pro/Cat 1 men 19-49/Single Speed Open: 6 laps (27 miles) Cat 1 men 15-18, 50+, and all Cat 1 women: 4 laps (18 miles) Cat 2 & Single Speed 2/3: 4 laps (18 miles) Cat 3: 2 laps (9 miles) 12 & under: 2 laps of kid course (5 miles)

Thanks for the info, this place has been on my radar for years. What were the fees? I have seen $20 and $40 for an annual membership but not a day pass. We did stop in Abilene the last time we went to Palo Duro on the way home. Good brewery 'downtown' called Grain Theory to sweeten the pot.

Sweetwater?

Yep, We have Flo and love watching 'cross!! Peacock does have replays:

I was out there today, perfect conditions. I definitely need to adjust my lap mindset. So used to being just about done when you got back to the end of Fat Chuck's/start of Karaway area. Used to be only a couple short punchy climbs sprinkled into a mostly bombing descent back to the start area back in the day, now you still have a pretty tough little ride still ahead of you. Fun stuff, but definitely more matches required than before for sure.

Wait, it is even worse than we thought. I am 95% sure it only has live coverage, no replays or on demand. Could you even record a third party app like this these days? 😡
