These came on my Fuel EX, the right one is long since worn out, the left is pretty much as good as new. I guess I shift hard and often. 🤨 I am thinking this might be common, if anyone wants this one, or has a good one they don't want, Lemme know otherwise I will probably throw the good one in the Yellow Bike box. They could go on either side.

Keep in mind this was always private property and what remains still is. Nothing good will come of promoting private property on a public forum (or with strava, etc).

This is from a nursery in the Houston area, but should be fairly similar. Not a lot of info. Fingers crossed. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/winter-freeze-plants-survived-dead/285-beaf8486-511b-4da6-a74a-b14cbc00e3ef

Nice. Even just walking the death section is a rush.

Just got back from HEB Parmer/McNeil - 5 minute line outside/5 minute checkout line. No meat, no dairy, no frozen food. Produce and dry goods well stocked, decent amount of bread. Found milk at the C-Store on the way home.

What my buddy's wife scored from trip mentioned above. I see some Axis IPA in there. Not much fresh foods but enough to get by.

Ahh thanks, that makes me a little less paranoid about my plumbing surviving.

Was that outside at a hose bib?

HEB - Parmer/McNeil. Friend got there around 11:30 (opened at noon) was in line with 40-50 ppl ahead and line wrapped around the bldg behind. They made an announcement that no refrigerated items are available.

I know there are quite a few of you that live close to me. I am thinking this may be a good place to share very current info. Like if you are at a store or just got back. i.e. - Went by HEB at Spicewood Springs/183 30 minutes ago and the lines weren't too bad but all they had was ice, potato chips and bud light - HEB at Parmer & McNeil had lines around 2 sides of the building at noon but we waited for an hour and they had a decent amount of produce, bread and meat, etc. I get the feeling it will be an arduous process over the next few days trying to get back to a decent place, I figured we should help each other out. Don't want to sift through all the BS on FB, etc. And don't want people driving around too much wasting time/gas (which may also be in short supply). I know a lot of folks live in the Cedar Park area, perhaps that is another thread, etc. Just an idea.

Our power was out from around 7:30pm until 7:00am. Twas a cold night, but had a pile of blankets and some Netflix stuff downloaded on my laptop.

I can't tell for sure, probably not too bad. I just had my big oak in the front trimmed for the first time yesterday and it is still straining hard.

Just saw and heard a big branch go down on my neighbor's house. I think things are going to be pretty bad. Move cars, be prepared for power outages, etc. The trails will of course need some work once this crap passes too. ☹️

Do any of the stores have Trek signs outside yet? I drive by the Research store often and it still has the BSS sign on the pole and storefront. I guess that can take a while, especially these days.

Pretty dang sure Eurosport was on the south side. Definitely smaller.

There was also Euro-Sport Cycles. Very close by but across the street. Not finding much info about it.I remember around 1994 drooling over a Burgundy Gary Fisher Montare frameset that matched my Mustang GT. A year or so later turns out an acquaintance had bought it and was selling it, I ended up with it after all. I just brought it to Yellow Bike recently. https://www.austinchronicle.com/locations/euro-sport-cycles-44864/

MJ's as well.

Nice! I have enjoyed my few visits to their Fitzhugh location. Good to have breweries in all different parts of town.

I avoid crowded trails, but still ride a lot and can't avoid very brief close contact. I am not comfortable following people though. With the heavy breathing and extended exposure, no way I would ride in the back of a long line on singetrack. Just my thoughts of course, but whatever we are doing as a collective society clearly isn't working very well (if you believe the news).

Correct, the trails are open year round. Dana Peak, where Barry indicated is the main trailhead. I think you only really have 2 choices, the parks at either end of the trail system.

Barry nailed it. I may park over on the Stillhouse Park side next time but I am less sure of the parking situation when the park is closed. Looks pretty limited using Street View. It would shave about 10 minutes driving each way for me though. Ideally I would park somewhere in the middle as I typically only carry 1 water bottle but it looks to be all private residential.

I resisted carbon at first (probably with good reason) but I think this video, which was widely viewed back then, was a major turning point in my acceptance. It is remarkably strong when done right.

I occasionally consider asking hikers with poop bags if I can have it (mainly to get their reaction) not sure what happens next though. 😁 I am really glad when seeing someone carrying one though.

Please use pms. The vast majority of that is private property and/or unauthorized. And you can't ride far without crossing multiple property lines so no one person or entity has any real say. Treat it like you want it to be there in a year or 5 and maybe it will be.
