Looks like the city is finally getting (somewhat) serious about this. Saw this baby at the BCGB 360 trailhead this morning.

Someone posted a picture of one on Reddit at the Sculpture Falls/MoPac Greenbelt entrance, too.  The police have to justify the budget beyond personnel.

Ridden sporadically by my wife.  Size small.

It has some minor dings and scratches from being crashed.  Still in great shape.

Installed larger tires with some tread for gravel path riding, matching pedals and grips.

Rack and mounts are not included.

Sold...months ago.

I bought these over a decade ago and wore them one winter in a bouldering gem and climbed outdoors twice in them. They have been stored in a tote in my garage since then.

Chalk bag included.

This 18 liter capacity pack was used sporadically for a few years and makes a great trail building pack, family outing bag, or even a cycling pack, bladder not included.

One of the side pockets ir tron, and you can see wear in the logo.  The fasterers all worked the last time I used it.

The cleats, while visibly worn, do have some life left. The carbon soles make the shoes stiff yet light, and the boas make on the fly adjustments easy. These shoes fit my size 10 D-width feet comfortable. The pedals are NOT included but can be bought for an extra $60.

Stock build w/ Shimano 105 components save for a shorter, taller stem for a more upright, comfortable position, a Specialized Power saddle with Mimic technology, and SPD pedals, this Ruby is a great bike for your second road bike or a fantastic starter road bike. 

Two chain rings promise that you'll always have the right gearing for any ride around here.

The agile and responsive Specialized FACT carbon, full-monocoque fork features Zertz inserts to absorb road roughness and give you a smoother ride. The Zertz under the saddle smooths bumps to your sit bones, making your ride more comofrtable.

The bike was ridden infrequently by my wife b/c we are primarily mountain bikers and has been sitting on a trainer for the past two years barely ridden.

Semi-metallic brakes pads new in the packaging.

$10

This 54 cm Trek Domane has hydraulic disc brakes paired with the Trek patented Isospeed decoupler front and rear designed to tame the cobblestones of the famous Paris-Roubaix race.  The carbon wheels are light and fast, and the bike is equipped with Shimano SPD pedals.  The tires are brand new Bontrager AW1 with zero miles on them!

The Wahoo Elemnt Bolt mount is NOT included.

I will be installing new black bar tape this week and cleaning it up for the sale. 

$2,050

I rode the paved trail from the Y to Govalle park for the first time in a while, and was pleasantly surprised to see a number of trailheads leading off the concrete path, and several mountain bikers popping in and out of em. In fact, a fellow on a full squish came of ‘Area 51’ before you cross the 183 overpass.

Is this a new destination trail?

Area 51 is the Little Walnut Creek Greenbelt.  The small network of trails is not destination worthy yet.  They don't flow well and don't stitch together well.  I will ride through that greenbelt on the trail to ride the trails off the SWCT.

The singletrack Austin Bike is referencing is flowy and fun.

Also, keep your core warm and make sure the gloves are not too tight (have some iP cold weather gloves that constrict flow).  Your hands should get warm blood.  

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.

I see that number ~3 million and think of the glorious MTB trails that AJ could build back there with that kind of cheddar😁

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.

Walnut wasn’t just good to go. It was hero dirt! Only @CBaron and one other showed up for R&I. Dirt was awesome and temps were perfect. Everyone missed out. 

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