  1. I take it back. KOM stealers are the worst Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  2. Marc Cook (A/C) [Mobile] +1 512-372-8407 He rides bikes too and sponsors a few local bike races. Good guy. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  3. There is a running group called Hashers or something that does this as well. Sound like this....? At a hash, one or more members ("hares") lay a trail, which is then followed by the remainder of the group (the "pack" or "hounds"). Sawdust, flour, or chalk are usually used to mark the trail. The trail periodically ends at a "check," The pack must find where it begins again; often, the trail includes false trails, short cuts, dead ends, check backs, and splits. These features are designed to keep the pack together despite differences in fitness level or running speed, as front-runners are forced to slow down to find the "true" trail, allowing stragglers to catch up. Members sometimes describe their group as "a drinking club with a running problem," indicating that the social element of an event is as important, if not more so than any athleticism involved. Beer remains an integral part of a hash. However, the balance between running and drinking differs between chapters, with some groups placing more focusing more on socializing and others on running.

  4. Pics? Or descriptions of what they look like and on what. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  5. @Kobra Kai MTB Guy I haven't seen the extent but for sure I wouldn't want to hit a dip just before a drop like that. Or hit a small lip that could buck a rear tire. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  6. I'll go fix it. Haven't been hitting it since my injury .Been wanting to make minor improvements to it anyways Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  7. Well not condoning intentional trail mods by non trail stewards BUT that log "feature" as of late was really just a speed bump. The telephone poles were basically just sitting on top of the dirt. It may have just been dislodged and moved off to the side. It has been along time since that was a feature that had dirt on it Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  8. I know you offered to him but I would be very grateful for this. My unit is repaired on the regular. That is if he doesn't want since it was directed to him. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  9. Hitch mount bike rack. Been in attic awhile. Going to Goodwill if no one here wants. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  10. You guys are so enduro Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  11. Werd. Traveling E to W its no big deal and can still "pop" off it I guess. But W to E it's just a speed bump. I don't care either way if stays or goes. Just offering my 2 cents. When I first built it I didn't know much about trail building and would do it way differently today to make it last longer. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  12. Is it really worth putting back? When it was covered with dirt it was a small kicker but in its current form it serves no purpose IMO Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  13. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Aint nobody got time for that. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  14. I would think anyone official would have posted signage or something to that affect. But that is one huge pile. If it was county you or Ronan would have known by now. If it was MUD official I would think a sign at minimum. The t post fence awhile back was more official than this and nothing happened after it was moved. It almost looks like someone drug tons of branches from off the trail itself. Wonder if a resident didn't like the cleanup efforts and drug it all into plain view also blocking access? Anyways I'll be at work tomorrow for 24. . Won't be available til Sunday or Monday Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  15. If it isn't gone tomorrow I'll try and get out there Sunday or Monday Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  16. Yea. Saw that one too. But it at least isn't as obvious. But it will need to be blocked. Problem with this particular section is that there are tons of ways to cut down. I think a few signs are in order.. but...Besides building a fence I don't have an answer that solves it. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  17. Do you know what it is blocked with? I have a t post puller if they did that again Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  18. Caddyshack cleared now. For those of you who ride that section it would be great if you could keep an eye out for paths like the picture below coming down from trail to bcrt and block or re block them. There can't be any direct intersections from this trail or Snail touching bcrt. I blocked it fairly well up top. Haven't covered the visible path as I didn't have a rake on me. Thanks Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  19. If it was anyone else I would be down. (Insert your joke .......................here [emoji3595]........... Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  20. Good luck. Can't make today. I may go tomorrow and do more Snail if not done or any spots reported un finished on D Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  21. Sat or Sunday? I'm assuming Sat since you posted last night? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  22. I initially did it for you and your love for swollen sacks. I kept it for me Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  23. Snail is mostly cleared. *Lines 1, 2, Highline, 5 and everything in ravine are cleared. *Line 3 is passable but you gotta weave around a few downed branches. *Climb Route that goes up the middle is still a disaster *Line 4 I never looked at so unknown By Friday it should all be cleared Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  24. So I'm no mtb coach... but for me ...The main goal of pushing into the sharp g out is to compress the fork and keep it compressed as you come up the other side which reduces the shock forces on. If you lean back and go into g out unweighted the fork will violently compress once it hits the opposing wall and rebound with very little control because you aren't weighting or over the bars. So pump INTO the g out and treat that particular one like you are doing a rock step up but without the hard pull on bars. Pump into G and then stand up and pedal out at top. It's better to stay centered over your BB Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
  25. Always. I can come get it. Or just meet at Snail. DM me. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
