  1. @RedRider3141 We have group rides on Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm. Our standard route is to start at Katy Crossing and do a lap or 2. Distance is 1.8 miles, very session-able and scenic little loop that rides great both directions. From there, we head upstream to Chautauqua and finally to Gotham, then head back and hit the trails following a downstream direction. There are more bits and pieces around town that will be built out and expanded in due time. Our goal is to build 5 miles of high quality purpose built singletrack per year.
  2. As Zander mentioned above, if you visit gtxtrails.org you can find a nifty interactive trail map. The GTX Trails are designed to be fun, flowy, and fast. They are the yin to Lake Georgetown’s yang. What they lack in mileage, they make up for in quality. And the good news is, we build more tread every month. Chautauqua (pronounced “Sh!t Taco”) is complete and is a fun diversion from the paved path in between Katy Crossing and Gotham. If you start at Katy Crossing Trail, head back upstream on paved path on the South Fork San Gabriel River, pass Blue Hole Park, and eventually you will hit Chautauqua; after that cross university (Hwy 29) bridge and dive down the concrete ramp, you will be at Gotham. An out and back route from Katy Crossing Trail to Gotham gives you over 10 miles (much is on paved path granted) but still a fun outing on the bike. Hope you have a great time! Post back here and tell us what you think! see attached screenshot for map of Chautauqua trail.
  3. That’s it! You can park on either side of the river. Have a blast!
  4. Katy Crossing Trail in Georgetown is generally fine for kids. There are a few neat spots along the way to enjoy the river. It’s also right next to San Gabriel park, which has a decomposed granite path that wraps its way around a few playgrounds for a nice play break.
  5. GTX Trails! This particular bridge is on property owned by Georgetown Trails Foundation in Georgetown. You can link up this trail, Katy Crossing Trail, and the Chautauqua Park trail and have a real fun time. It is def okay to talk about, please come enjoy our trails and spread the word! More to come soon. See our website http://Gtxtrails.org for an interactive trail map.
  6. Last build day of the year for Georgetown Trails Foundation (and what an amazing year it has been)! Come spread some good tidings and holiday dirt with us at the new Chautauqua trail. Tools are provided as always, but feel free to bring your own if you’ve got ‘em. We are are really excited about how this trail has turned out… come check it out! 12/18/22, 9am @ Chautauqua Park
  7. Spread the word: Georgetown Trails Foundation will be back at Chautauqua Park on November 20th at 9am. Come out and help us dial in the new Chautauqua Trail! We will be building berms, rerouting a segment away from river rocks, and building some advanced "A-lines" along the rocky bluffs. As always, trail tools will be provided - all you need to bring are gloves, water, and sturdy shoes. We appreciate the help - together we are making Georgetown an awesome place to enjoy the outdoors. Happy Trails!
  8. Are you talking about KOM Trails? Don’t know what their alias is on here, but you might check out their website / social media.
  9. Come out and build some sweet new singletrack with Georgetown Trails Foundation on October 16th at 9am. Meet at Chautauqua Park, where we will be extending a new segment that flows alongside the rocky bluffs of the San Gabriel River’s South Fork. We’ve got plenty of spare tools - just bring gloves, water, and some sturdy shoes. Should be a fun time!
  10. Loved the article. Paul is an awesome guy who rides with absolute steez. Super humble but kicks total ass. He also happens to run the friendliest bike shop in Texas. I’m a proud owner of the LGT Dragon shirt. It’s fun and IMO a great way to promote the trail. Hope all of y’all get to experience the unique experience of the Dragon. Perhaps a bit of an acquired taste, but WOW! Always feels like a badass old Tejas backcountry mission. It is an amazing (but grueling) experience that is special in a way all its own. Happy trails, and watch out for snakes!
  11. Ha! I actually do think about that episode from time to time. But hey, at least the forecast looks drier this week.
  12. You can actually get the Salsa Journeyman specified with flat bars. There are options out there for you!
  13. I also have a Salsa Journeyman Apex 1. I’m primarily a mountain biker, and decided to get the journeyman to have a bike to ride when trails are wet, to dabble into the bikepacking scene, do some gravel races with, and to ride the MS 150 with (MS 150 ended up getting canceled this year thanks to Covid19). I must admit, I’ve had a lot more fun with it than I was expecting. I have the 650b wheels and it’s awesome for mixed surface paths, gravel, and mellow single track. Used it for a 65 mile gravel grinder and had a great time. Excited to do some true bikepacking once the pandemic is over. I’ve also found that the extra miles I have put on the journeyman have helped with my MTB fitness. I mainly got it bc that’s what my LBS has in stock (Georgetown Cyclewerx - Paul is the coolest dude in the business) but I also think Salsa is a sweet brand. Very happy with the choice. Price was definitely right.
  14. Dang, sorry to hear about the rib injury! Does anyone have access to the final results? I had to leave early before they were posted. What a fun event. I’m hooked.
