  1. Oh, quit being such a drama queen, Carl. I have certainly never stated that you do ‘nothing for the community’. There are various efforts underway to stop the Southie trails from becoming a national trash embarrassment, and your refusal to allow these efforts to be posted, or to allow your forum to be used for coordination of trash pickup, deserves your being called out in public. As I have said, we’ll manage without you.
  2. Less shame if he would work with others toward a common goal.
  3. And such a shame that your control issues with your FB group denies the opportunities for groups of us to post trash cleanup days. Never mind - we'll manage without you.
  4. Ride the park road out toward Lamar, cross the bridge, go past the Windy Loop entrance, and look for a trailhead on the left. You have to hop the curb.
  5. As far as I can tell, MTB Project remains free, for now ... and the interface seems to have improved a great deal since the early days.
  6. A curious strategy - to attempt to monetize your interaction with something which is essentially free - the great outdoors. I see that they have also taken over Pinkbike.
  7. I think you and I are not alone - we know our local trails well, and only use the app sporadically when traveling. I bet this price hike loses them a chunk of business. They also took over Bikereg - not sure what their ultimate goal is.
  8. Apple messaged me this morning - my Trailforks annual subscription was set to increase 50% from $36 to $54. Seems like they are now a part of Outside+, who keep jacking up the prices on everything they buy. Anyway, thought I'd let you all know. I cancelled mine for now.
  9. Typical Teutonic nonsense. Maybe give em a chance before you rush to judge?
  10. There are a good number of UK companies making well-machined parts: Hope, Works Components, Uberbike, Absolute Black - to name but a few. I don't see the need to be so negative.
  11. Posting the date now, in the hope that there will not be a conflict.
  12. You'd hope that at some point they'd join the current century. It's like they still live in the 70s.
  13. Pinthouse will do fine - they fund everything using pizza sales, in any case.
  14. Celis is probably still experiencing financial difficulties. I believe Uncle Billy’s or Zilker or someone rents a good part of their production facility. The debt load on that fancy building must be high, and in addition, the non-Pierre brews have not made a name for themselves.
  15. Interesting Reddit comments. Will I miss em? No - didn’t visit the tap room often, and didn’t care much for the beer. Tough short-term for the employees - maybe some will find a home at Pinthouse. Meanwhile, I wonder how much longer Celis will last.
  16. Kind of sudden, and a big one to close without warning. https://austin.eater.com/2023/11/3/23943828/oskar-blues-brewery-austin-closed
  17. It's a trail ride - and a hard one - you just have to sling a few roads together to get between em. Not for everyone, for sure. Mind you, I'll say the same about RHR.
  18. It took a framing nail and a new tire, but hey - we got there!
  19. Come ride it - you’ll find out!
  20. Mandatory re-route to avoid construction on 360 which is impacting the shoulder: On 360, once you pass the Overlook and the cliff face, the next right is Bold Ruler, which you'll take. Then: Left on Canonero Drive Left on Waymaker Way Right on Round Table Rd Right on Riva Ridge Rd Left on Carry Back Lane Cross Westlake Drive and ride THRU Davenport Village. You'll pass La Boulangerie, and if I'm sitting in front of it, I'll buy you a coffee. From there, exit back onto 360 where there is a five foot shoulder all the way to the bridge. I recommend a good rear blinkie for all the road portions! I will print these directions out and have them available at the start.
  21. EB Individual Liability Waiver Form.pdf
  22. NO unaccompanied minors on this event. If your Bowie Bulldog or VandeViper wants to ride - you, or someone over 18 rides with em, and doesn't drop em! Hope that is claro. There will be a printed waiver which I will ask everyone to sign at the start. I will post a version here if you want to save time and print it out.
