Ahem, Chardog and Myself. I call that area 7 mile hill. (distance from Bolm trailhead) Made lines on Google Earth, then Char helped me bring ARR clout to the COA parks and meetings. I was the project champion but red tape took the wind out of my sails. The proposal was rebranded from 7 mile hill to Skyline Trails. Char's idea. Anyways first we were told it's a go, since greenbelt land needs no environmental impact studies, or master plan. Then they decided to designate that hill as parkland instead. Boom Crickets. It was to be the first downhill system in the region, but has very minimal emergency access. I should dig up the google earth files. There were maybe 7 shoots and the paved trail was the climb back up.

Too far for me but poor Sethpools. As least he still has Cat.

I don't ignore that. I already said don't let mean dogs off leash in another comment. That includes ones that bite or have any violent tendency. It's up to you weather you blast by them or not to get a KOM, and in actuality there is a trail speed limit which I'm positive strava users have to ignore in order to rank. Me, I stop riding if it looks sketchy and let them pass.

The dog thing is only a problem to strava racers. Normal people don't mind slowing down, or even saying hi, or "go ahead, hikers have the right of way" I have had zero incidents here in over a decade. We are all out here to enjoy the natures, brah.

This issue sucks. Can we return to normal where if your dog is friendly no leash and mean yes leash. It's really that simple, just haul out your turds.

I hate the black bags most.

Hey a good post from RA! You are doing it right buddy. There is hope! (even tho this looks like .6 of distance and private)

chhhhhhhhhhhh You ARE his Father chhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If you start to pedal and the bike rolls backwards, you will know they are def on backwards!

Oh that's Boatright if I remember correctly. We tried to route the EB through there with orange silverware years ago.....because the EB wasn't tough enough already.

I'm sticking with my 3x9 till it explodes, but I'm not that into adventure either. /s

You must not be the real Bart then.

Lets not split fingers over this. :) MAybe it was Sox.

That's odd. I've never seen a building at St Ed's Park.

username checks out!

I like how all the tough gun rights guys are the first to go crying to the government for help. on a posi note....I'm down to 183 from 200 lbs, have my crockpot fired up 4 nights a week(any dried thing + onion + sausage), playing tons of music, and STILL killing the Nut on a nightly. I vowed this was Year of The Tay in Jan and I was not gonna be a spectator as much. Well with no sports on, I got my way. and.... HAPPY 4/20! Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

Pissed riding = Cleaning climbs!

How you spend the extra cash is your beautiful problem, buddy.

Live is to short to really get bent about someone's tunes. YMMV I mean you are out on your bike having a great time. Why spoil that with anger?

..............From that day on he was known as TacoMan! And here everyone thought is was cuz of the food.

This sounds fun! I want to be you.......except.........I would get a screaming deal on craigslist from some rich guy who gave up this hobby, then pocket the other 2k for a sweet roadtrip to Moab and Fruita. Maybe even splurge for some Stash IPA while I'm at it.

Depends on the volume honestly.

Upvoted for an elder using the F word!

Not just "some mountain biker" I'm talking ME man. That shit is closed for Easter parties. Prob could do a Dragonslayer and remain isolated. I mean it's Georgetown. No one even rides it it's so tecky. But yeah lets all pass each other on the streets. What about driving on 35 with the windows cracked? Is that cootie central also? What if a trucker just coughed out his window a mile ahead of me? Also there is sometimes sarcasm in my posts.

Are you new to Austin? This week has been the best temps we will get all year. At least until Nov.
