    Lake Georgetown (Goodwater Trail) Trail Conditions

    in Trail Conditions

    Posted

     

    This was my Longest Ride by far it was around 30 miles, longest before was 12.5, added a few miles because we had to double back to the truck in cedar breaks, my brother-in-law forgot to wear his helmet and neither of us realized till taking a selfie haha

     

    Ill do it again ..it was pretty crowded with hikers on trails around the parks, would be better during week but to be expected with the temps..I actually had water left in my camelback

     

    And thanks for the free t-shirt cyclewerx, thats cool of them

    Good topic...I like El yucateco chili habenero.
    Local brands yellowbirds of all flavors are good and gtown has a hot sauce shop on the square and one of the house sauces Mikey V's sam sauce is a tomatillo base with mix of different peppers...I likey me some good tomatillo sauces.
    He used to have out samples all the time.. that was fun

    Any of y'all on Deception yesterday around 2 possibly with Texas Parks and Wildlife green shirt...
    I let him pass me after first climb and tried to Trail him but he ended up smoking me...

    I would like to strike from the record any mention of me wanting to race I already feel like a loser...I did get my PR though...

    My dents/crash are/was not as significant as the previous shown and I don't see any visual signs of foam damage...the main brunt hit is right on the stronger high edge so that probably helped?
    Although my head is very slightly sore in that spot my pinky finger took the most damage when got jammed on tree I hit...I went flying forward and bounced my head off trunk to the ground but my bike was parked perfect ha...and glad I don't got a pencil neck...got up and rode about another 3mbf3546efe6b5fffbd3c90c84fbe168af.jpgf23b01cd3c952f4e7d5bc3b7813fadd2.jpg

    My helmet saved me best yet today..basically crown of head first into a tree trunk..put a decent dent on top of helmet but still seems like it would do its job.

    I'm being told I should replace it and I know that's the standard from manufacturers but is it really not as effective anymore?

    Mount Lakeway Trail System Trail Conditions

    in Trail Conditions

    Great condition out there today. While it’s hard to get more than 7-8 miles without covering your tracks twice, it’s fun. There’s a couple jump lines on powering hill, some are big hits on the second hill. Lots of techy switchbacks all the way up to the top. Solid spot for a 1-2 hour ride. 

    Rode this today for the first time... it was a horrible yet fun ride ...I can tell a mtb coach made this Trail, Ken whose plaque is there RIP, because you have to have lungs to make it to the top and technique on the way down ..the switchbacks at speed are tricky, and it's the first place I tried locking out my shock during long climbs... man that is nice I was slipping out way less

    And I liked beating the hell out of the bell at the top...

    I ended up following a couple guys I met in parking lot that were using gps to follow a track...ended up around 11 miles
    I know we started from the gate to race loop and ended up at the top of decision point but then from there I couldn't tell you..it was fun but did spend a lot of time re-orientating.

    I think a lot of the traffic is being pulled to spider just down the road because it wasn't crowded at all which was nice

    If you plan on camping and are looking for a less roughing it place to stay check out canyon of the eagles at end of road past spider...its nice with cabins and on site restaurant/ amenities and regular primitive and rv too
