    ASK: Anyone have a pair of 29" QR wheels with Disc Brakes? I'd like to borrow them for a day/weekend to test fit on a 27.5 frame and fork to see if I can build my XC bike into another "flat bar gravel" build.

     

    Details:

    • 29"
    • QR, std width hubs
    • HG casette capable, but I don't need a casette
    • No tires preferably unless they are <55mm/2.1" wide
    • Rim width 15-25

    Saturday I started at the YMCA- Snail, the new thing, Picnic over to the new paved path.

    Now I admit I was never very good at understanding most of Ninja but I had stayed away a while with the construction so I was even rustier.  So I tried riding trail over there and found some but realized how much has been lost.

    Rode back to BCRT to the end where surprise there is a new road going in down there.

    Lots of changes over there.

    The new road will allow easier access to other places to ride and connect up.   Gotta find the silver lining I reckon .

    "Billy Goat", and not "Old Goat" which was his actual nickname? Maybe another Wilco official's overreach, because "Old" would be ageist?

    He was a great guy, was always willing to give a hand, and would give you the shirt off his back, so he definitely deserves recognition and is missed dearly. 

    Glad this old dream of a trail was finally realized. 

    The name stems from the name of his Jeep. At his memorial his family requested the trail be named this as it was special to them and his memory. 

    The county had no part in the naming. The county has been great to work with lately btw.

  8. He has tried to make shortcuts from the main BCRT to the low sections of DD by bushwacking his way in , breaking branches , when we told him to stop he has went off on how its public property. Stuff like that. Mostly ignore him.   We do run into the few people who do not want any work done and they get rather vocal at our work. 1st time I got cussed out for trail work I was taken aback tbh, But whatever  to each their own I guess.

    There's another dude I see out there often who tosses Aerobie discs into the bushes along the path, kind of a hippie, usually wearing a tie-dye. It's like he's playing his own private game of cross-country disc golf. I can't quite figure what he's playing at, I wonder if he's just tripping balls and tossing discs to watch the pretty trails. But I don't see that guy every time I ride.

    Christ I need to get back on the trails, my life is starting to feel like a reboot of Rear Window.

    Man this guy, We have stories on him. We call him the Frisbee guy. He tosses the frisbees, and throws out random trivia to the catcher. Most of which are young females. When we do trail maintenance he has gotten a bit "testy" and a PITA with us on occasion  , but overall he is harmless.
