  1. The city has explicitly said that cat cannot be "open to the public". Everyone who rides there is my personal friend or a friend of a friend. Also Freeride 512 has volunteered to help to patrol because of theft and other mischief on the trails.
  2. Cat is definitely for more advanced riders, Seth did offer to offer to make some more XC trail though.
  3. I have used that with the city.. I never use the term "build trails". Instead I use rehabilitate trails. We never cut down trees, we limb them, which also happens to be good for fire safety. We dont open up the tree canopy because we like the shade.
  4. who is more the fool, the fool or the man that tries to argue with him?
  5. i was thinking angelfire. In many places 4000 ft of elevation in 10 miles is an every day ride.
  6. You would have more time to ride if you took the kid, since the wife wouldnt give you a hard time.
  7. bankruptcy court said they had to close all stores
  8. They definitely do not have full shelves, but they do have a little of most things. shimano drivetrain components are only 30% off and are mostly gone. I dont recall seeing pedals. But it is still worth browsing.
  9. the facebook marketplace is good, though i havent really had trouble with craigslist. https://www.facebook.com/groups/bicycleselltradeaustintx/ I started the pay it forward thread in the old forum and gave away a ton of stuff because it was too much of a hassle to sell. On facebook there is the concept of a PPU or porch pickup, you leave the item out and the people leave the money under the mat. That has been a pretty good way to sell inexpensive items.
  10. they are now at 40% off. Went in to check out what was left. They still have a lot of bikes, while I was there 3 people bought fuji cyclocross bikes. Still a ton of nutrition Tifosi Sunglasses couple of cyclops hammer app controlled bike trainers for $420 or so Clothing Couple of full bike tool kits Misc parts/accessories (camelbaks, lights, rear blinky lights, bells, helmets, pumps, socks etc) The courts said that all stores have to close so they are getting new inventory in from the warehouses. I bought a couple pairs of photochromatic sunglasses for $20
  11. thought this was a good deal. tempted to pull the trigger, but I cant justify another bike. https://www.competitivecyclist.com/evil-bikes-following-mountain-bike-frame-2016?skid=EVB0001-GUNMET-XL&CMP_SKU=EVB0001&MER=0406&CSPID=0914&mr:trackingCode=1419C019-DC58-E611-80EF-0050569428E8&mr:referralID=NA&mr:device=c&mr:adType=plaonline&mr:ad=303155479598&mr:keyword=&mr:match=&mr:tid=pla-349440543502&mr:ploc=9028297&mr:iloc=&mr:store=&mr:filter=349440543502&CMP_ID=PLA_GOc014&CSPID=0914&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PLA&k_clickid=_k_EAIaIQobChMI1a7BuNeW3wIVw8DACh03_AAoEAQYASABEgKZYPD_BwE_k_&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1a7BuNeW3wIVw8DACh03_AAoEAQYASABEgKZYPD_BwE
  12. scooters are like cars in the 1900s. People are going to have to figure out how this new technology fits into everyday life. I think they are great and would love to close down roads downtown and limit them to personal transport.
  13. People are selling kits to turn the scooters into private scooters https://scootertalk.org/viewtopic.php?p=1643&fbclid=IwAR0JNWbW9K5Own6yQyH3ozi6SpgIC6QBFTc8e46BcXvAkb3PJNFfKDYKNOM#p1643
  14. flat piece of land 🙂 This would be done on the down low. "landscaping" No permit required. Ditch needs a culvert. I paid someone to cut a 10 ft wide path almost to the end of the property so you can get on it now, though it probably has grown back
  15. the pigs would eat all the poison ivy 🙂
  16. I have 20 acres on johnny morris rd across from the Y just sitting there. Probably getting shit dumped on it. It is right across the street from the south walnut creek trail. One person tried and said there was too much poison ivy and it is really dense. Alternately if anyone wants to start a free range pig farm 🙂
  17. One of my worst crashes was also a 2.25 ardent washing out at speed. I used them in the rear and they were fine.
  18. saw a sign, stuff is at 50% off now. Havent been by to check. But if the nutrition is 50% off that is a great deal.
  19. thanks cxagent! It seems like territory density went up then came back down in open areas. Does territory density mean the number of territories? So If warblers can find food more easily they have smaller territories and therefore the density of the territories goes up? I would bet the density of territories goes up when there is more rain, resulting in more food. The reality is animals, just like people easily get habituated. If there are lots of people, the birds are going to get used to lots of people. If there are no people, then the birds are going to be easily scared by people. Frankly at this point Im incredibly disappointed in the birdwatchers. They essentially want all uses except theirs closed. They even like to ban hikers with dogs. They seem to not understand the more users, the more muscle we have to protect against development, mining, and logging. My other sport is kitesurfing which is banned at all national seashores due to bird watchers.
  20. what is the difference between territory density and fledgling density? Territory density looks bad for open.
  21. awesome frame, carbon, super light. Slack with short chainstays. it is on the Bicycle Sell & Trade Austin, TX facebook group.
