The COA has banned grilling in city parks with this exception: "Propane stoves are acceptable, but only in properly designated picnic areas. Violations of the ban could result in a fine between $300 and $500."

Good to see you again, Ed. -dburatti

You won't on this forum.

Yes, the dirt was just sticky enough with no dust anywhere. Good to see the five others how showed up. The sausage selection was really good, too. 😄

Thanks.

It has been listed for a while without any offers of a lower price. I hope this drop gets a bike, as I can use the money. 😕 Also, I'm not on FB anymore.

Another price drop. Now $2000.

This is the second feature on Tarantula, which opens Friday barring rain. We staged this on a closed trail under controlled circumstances. Do not do this when you ride it. Double_Wall_Ride.mp4

FYI, you can catch updates from me on Instagram (boots_mcleod) when we're building new trail and maybe doing other things. I do tag Spider Mountain, but you have to check the tagged posts for my updates.

That's a true statement. We will probably be reworking one of the features before we open after we test rode the trail today. The trail is stupid fast, so we need to tweak it a little.

This is the last feature, #5, we're building on this trail Code Named Tarantula. The trail length is around 1,000 feet, so you'll get wooden features pretty much back to back. This one starts with a 16' gentle ascent that you can gap to off a dirt entrance to a level board walk that rises 18" over 6' to a 6' level pad, up another 3.5' to a 24' level boardwalk. If you got the pull, you can gap to the top. From the top, it will descend slightly to a level pad to another down ramp to a dirt transition. You should be able to gap from the top to the dirt if you have the gumption. We're hoping that we can make the finishing touches to the trail and have it open next week.

According to Trek's website, they're 43.

We're hoping to have it open in two weeks, but that decision is made at a higher level than me. =^) We designed it to be a progressively more challenging trail than Viper's Den for blue riders. Of course, this is more of a bike park trail than a classic DH trail.

Lightly Used. The Velcro and soles are still in good shape. Cleats included.

Used. I'll include the bladder that is a tight fit into its pocket.

This is the 4th wooden feature on the new (dark) blue trail we're building. You'll be carrying quite a bit of speed coming up to it, particularly if you sent it off the wall ride two features up. This one will consist of a 25' ramp up to a 20' turning platform 5' off the ground at the top of the ramp. As the platform turns, the ground below is descending, so the high point before the down ramp well over 6' off the ground. The exit ramp will be between 10' and 15' long, and you'll be able to roll it or optionally huck off it to a dirt landing. Edit: a word

Finished wall ride! We have three more wooden features planned after this.

It got rocky after the wall ride, so we're in the process of smoothing it out for that slope-style feel we created on the upper section.

We have some minor finish work to do on this wall, as well as shape the landing before this and the entrance and exits for the wall. Our projected timeline to open this trail is another four weeks.

While we don't have one planned or budgeted, we've been talking about a more...natural black or double black run. Follow our Instagram feed for up-to-date info about trail developments.

We're in the process of building a new intermediate trail that is planned to have six wooden features: a step-up roller with a rollable jump at the end (pictured,) a multi-tiered wall ride that will end in an optional drop, a wooden drop to dirt transition, and three wooden tabletop jumps. You can see the first wooden feature from the lift and from the first mountain road intersection with Viper's Den. Trail length is estimated to be about 1'000 feet, and it'll exit on the second mountain road at Viper's Den. Scheduled completion time is six weeks.

Check out Dana Peak at Lake Stillhouse Hollow. These trails flow surprisingly well; they are not very technical but fun, IMO. I ride it as a reverse lollipop loop. You only really have to repeat a short out-and-back later in your ride.

I've owned this bike for about 14 months and love it! It's an extremely capable bike for any trail in the Austin area. however, as capable as it is, I want more travel, so I'm selling this one to buy a different bike. It does have a cosmetic scratch on the drive side seat stay as seen in the pictures. Also, the derailleur has a scuff on it, too. It's a stock build save for the seat and the rear tire, which is a Specialized Butcher 2.6". The suspension had an annual service less than two months ago by Bicycle Sport Shop when the bike got a tune-up. This included a brake bleed. Asking $4,200 $3,900!

The SB5+ TURQ frame comes in at 5.34 pounds (2.42 KG) and brings playfulness to the plus-sized mountain bike world. Yeti’s Switch Infinity suspension platform and smart frame design grants you the trail-ruling trinity of deep travel support with small bump sensitivity and rock-solid climbing. Add 5 inches of ample Fox Factory suspension to the equation, and you have a frame that is nearly unstoppable. Plus-sized 27.5-inch Maxxis Rekon tires grip tight in dirt, mud, gravel — anything you can find — while DT Swiss keeps you rolling on a wheelset that’s sturdy, smooth, and fast. Shimano's 11-speed XT drivetrain shifts quickly and reliably, while XT brakes supply excellent power with a feather-light touch. Wrapping-up this lightweight, traction-loaded build is Fox's Transfer dropper seatpost, giving you everything you need for backcountry exploration.

There are a couple of scratches on the down tube (non-drive side) that can be seen in this picture that are not mentioned above.

Gemini Duo 1500 Lumen Light specs here Used once by my wife on the trail and once around the house. The battery end cap cracked and came off, so I glued it back on. All pieces are accounted for and included, as shown in the picture, with three mounting options.
