Learning to fix your own bike is one of the best investments that you can make in the sport.

Sure, you save a lot of money, but most importantly you save a lot of time. You can ride more when your bike is not sitting in a shop waiting for it to be fixed.

If you like to ride, learn to wrench.

Also, a fix in the field can allow you to ride out instead of taking the walk of shame.

Sure. Already posted in another thread but happy to show it off here as well! Once things dry out, there should be regular sightings of it on the Brushy Trails.

How is the sinkhole?

Still there.  Filled with sticks.  There's a skinny on the creek side that bypass the cavern.

Gum drop and Peddlers East was good.

Go down and check the creek out sometime.

1C is the old Champion shooting range.  Still has Lead problems in the soil.

Made it up Saturday, but  too late for the group ride.  Saw the fast group blast by a couple of times.

Was going to stop by the camp area, but the gate was down.  We headed south and pit stopped at Barrow Brewing in Salado.  A good consolation prize.

More bikes and Bluebonnet pics!

Pedernales Falls also has many miles of trails suitable for hiking.

Plan your trip ahead of time and get purchase pass on-line.  They have been selling out of day passes.

Wow, enjoy your forever lockdown.

 

Anyone not vaccinated should stay away from others, and wear their masks...then get vaccinated. 

My body. My choice.

Took the School Bus out on the trails.

Balcones Canyon Lands Doeskin Ranch trails near Bertram is an interesting hike.

Thank you Sir.

Any ideas of trail conditions after last night's storm?

Just back from two nights there so I'll add my input to this "resource" thread.

It's a nice park. There isn't a lot of trail, but what there is was fun. Anyone reading this would do all of it in one ride like my ride:

https://www.strava.com/activities/4969268839 I repeated a little because I missed a turn.

The system consists of five loops that can be ridden without repeating. The easiest, meaning the least amount of climbing because none of it is technical (even the "most difficult" C loop), are the EZ loop and loop A. Somehow these felt all downhill. The climbs are switch backed in such a way that I just never felt like I was on a grindy climb.

We did not kayak on the smallish lake because it was too cold and windy the day we had planned to. It would have taken about an hour to paddle the entire shoreline I think. But a super lovely setting to do so. Very pretty and pristine.

We drove 25 minutes on the way out of town to Lindsey Park. We didn't do all of it because one of the two of us got tired of the climbing involved pretty quickly (ahem...clears throat). But if you are in the area make time to ride here. It was definitely made by mountain bikers. Several wooden features and lots of flowing trails with berms and little jumps. I was disappointed to not be able to do all of it. There is a very nice disc golf course in that park too.

I think that I remember lots of sand at Lindsey.  Faulkner was shorter, but in my opinion was more entertaining.

Gotta visit the Warblers a few more times.
