Schrute

I prefer the term "Amish" bike, as Bobo calls them, lol.

Not sure on camping. I know it only had select dates that it is open for riding and the TMBRA races like you noted.

I saw some chatter on FB about Forest Creek, so we decided to check it out Saturday. We had a really good time. It seemed very similar to Warda—a high-speed, flowy track. We did 8 miles in about an hour, and if we had more time, I would have gladly gone out for another lap—nice piece of property for sure. I had never been to Dale, TX, but we were under an hour away. I definitely will be going back. It's a great addition to the region alongside RHR and Warda.

Glad to hear you bounced back. I remember your post about the crash and I have to admit it crosses my mind also when I ride out there on the more exposed sections.

I remember some years back you had a pretty nasty crash out there where you landed on your neck, correct? Did you recover pretty well from that? Do you feel nervous at all riding that track where it happened?

I disliked my SPOT experience as well. I had to get it to participate in the Texas Water Safari this year. I felt like their website/registration process was outdated and predatory trying to get you to pay for added on features. Total r/assholedesign stuff. Then canceling the subscription had to be one of the most unintuitive, PITA processes ever. Which over charged me a month. This is all after having a Garmin watch/account that offers live tracking free of charge that notifies my person of choice as soon as I start an activity.

I rarely get flats in centex. Last 2 times I've been to NWA I've had flats....

Kessler and Little Sugar are good. If you can hit Mt Nebo on the way up, that place is super awesome.

Are you in with anyone on possible trail development there - or are you waiting for the purchase to finalize to attack?

I feel like the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance have a great system going as far as trail access based around GCW habitation. They have specific trails that are closed specific times of the year because of the GCW nesting. SMGA works primarily in Hayes county too. Maybe there could be some connection there?

@notyal Did anything more ever develop with this? I live in the the New Braunfels area now and have seen some local news story on this land. I'd love to help get involved?

McAllister Park in North San Antonio has a really nice pump track now. (I do not have anything with the video below or know the person recording. Just saw the thumbnail showcased the pump track).

I really enjoyed this one on the last Pedro album

What I'm about to say may seem trivial to some or at most a minor issue - but my month, quite possibly my life, is immediately ruined when I come across a hiker/runner who has headphones in so loud they are unaware of their surroundings. So loud that shouting RIDER BACK does not alert them to my presence. I've seen this brought up before in other mountain bike forums, but I need to stop letting it get to me so much. I just cannot believe the audacity of some people. They might as well come into my house and take a giant shit on my floor. I'm incredibly non-confrontational, so I won't say anything besides a short, snarky remark along the lines it's not a good idea, but on the inside I'm FUMING. It's like road rage but while riding, haha.

Man I hope y'all going for it post up some ride logs. I really enjoyed reading those the last time this happened. Be thinking about those when you're cranking out the miles!
