The same goes for feet. If your shoes are tight, be it from thicker socks or two pairs of socks, you'll feet will likely be cold and tingly.

Also, if you have what are supposed to be quality cold weather gloves, but your hands are still cold, make sure your wrists are warm. If you're wearing thin sleeves or a vest, your hands might not be getting blood warm enough to keep your hands warm.

When I was the trail manager at Trek Bicycles, my budget was about $75k a year (not including my salary,) and we accomplished a lot with that. As a contractor, it would probably have taken me a few years to build trails and features worth $3 million...even with several machines and several crews.

Article text: Construction on Cedar Park’s Brushy Creek North Fork Trail project moves forward By Zacharia Washington | 2:11 PM Dec 16, 2022 CST Updated 2:11 PM Dec 16, 2022 CST The city will begin construction on the Brushy Creek North Fork Trail project at the beginning of 2023. (Courtesy Pexels) Cedar Park City Council approved an agreement with Fazzone Construction Company for the construction of the Brushy Creek North Fork Trail project at its Dec. 15 meeting. Stretching from Parmer Lane near Whitestone Boulevard down to the Brushy Creek Regional Trail at Brushy Creek Road, the Brushy Creek North Fork Trail project will consist of roughly 3 miles of shared-use trail, Senior Project Manager Marisa McKnight said at the meeting. Once construction is completed, the trail will be a 10-foot-wide concrete path with associated lighting and fencing. Funding sources for the project include the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Texas Department of Transportation and the Community Development Corporation Type B funds, according to the city. The estimated project cost is $2.97 million. Construction is anticipated to begin in January or February, McKnight said, and it is projected to last for a year. “This is an exciting development,” Mayor Jim Penniman-Morin said.

Joe was there at some point, too. The rest of us had other things to do, I guess.

One of the guys in our group walked .6 and said it was good to go.

Hey! Our group is social, too!! ;-)

I would buy a commuter e-bike for errands if I had the spare coin. One of these days......

It was a good ride, indeed. Thanks for the company!

This is after riding a third of the way through. 6. I bailed at the power line cut through. The first Tar Branch Crossing was wet going down into it, but the trail before it was dry. The trail between tar branch and .6 was sticky in places. The Inner Log Loop has seven or eight unavoidable wet spots. I can't imagine that the Windy Loop and the BMX Loops are any better. It needs another day in my opinion.

I'm making a recon run some time before 2 p.m. and will try to remember to post my findings here.

This post was recently rebuilt by Marty at The Peddler in Cedar Park. It's hydraulic top to bottom and has a great lever feel with quick responsiveness.

Most definitely. A rain gauge at WC and Metric showed 0.04" in the past 24 hours.

I don't see Suburban Ninja on that list. A group of us...Chuck, Matt, Joe, and Deak regularly ride there Thursdays. D

I did something like that picking up a buddy in Wells Branch and riding with another who rode to my house earlier this year. It's fun stitching together pockets of trail. We rode a similar one that included some cave preserves near Anderson Mill on the way to Leander. too.

I'm reading a booked called Two Wheels Good: The History and Mystery of the Bicycle, which includes a little info about bikes in wars and mentions Vietnam.

I have owned the Yeti SB5 Turq and the Hightower CC and am currently running the Santa Cruz 5010 C. I loved all of those bikes, and the Yeti was my favorite. I kicked myself for selling it. The Yeti pedaled a little more...firmly, I.e. less bounce than the others, but I barely notice it in the others now. I had the suspension set up perfectly and loved how it rode and how it handled. As @ATXZJstated, you won't go wrong with any of those bikes.

My trail maintaining days are over outside of volunteering at someone else's workday or (hopefully) helping design new trail. 🙂

Maintained as needed. It comes with the shoulder strap and a large spool of string. I also have the tool it came with. Message me here or text 512-797-RIDE (7433.) D

I wouldn't ride BG during rush hour or on weekends. We were riding through it late morning on a Friday. And I do understand needing to ride on sidewalks from time to time, but, I don't want to spend a lot of time on them b/c they don't provide the experience I am seeking and cars consistently block them and are not looking for cyclists. Also, if there are any pedestrians, our disparate speed is a concern for me. Lastly, I stopped riding Parmer unless it's absolutely necessary.

I used to think lock washers worked. They don't.

Here is the route Chuck and I took the other day to get from Decker Lake to Walnut Creek. It requires riding for a relatively short distance on a narrow two lane road with no shoulder for a bit. We were passed by one car on Blue Goose and three or four on Sprinkle Cutoff. Edit: This was the actual ride. The other one I created to upload to my Elemnt.
