schoolie

This is the route we did in '21 and '23. Clockwise, starting at Russell Park, with a bit of extra at the dam. https://www.strava.com/segments/29906417?filter=overall

Laps: 3.3 Route: Of course! How many times: 4x Weather: Nearly perfect... a little slick and spicy off the start (would it be a DS without slippy limestone?), a tad warm for my tastes on lap 2, but for a 12hr window in CenTX in Dec, it don't get much better 🙂 Recap: Lots of rocks. Fun times with cool people. Bikes bikes bikes!

Old (mid 2000s?) Fox Fork parts. Pretty sure there's enough here to put together a nice 26" 32mm stanchion fork. Kid's bike maybe? Located in NW Cedar Park.

What a great story.

Yep, exactly. My karate monkey does the same thing. Right side dropout never slides forward under pedal loads because the chain tugs hold it back, but left side slides backwards if I stab the brakes too hard and the axle isn't tight (no sliding dropout on the monkey, just track ends).

Just making sure... are you snugging this bolt up against the frame and locking the lock nut?

+1 for NiteRider Lumina. I run one on my head, one on the bars, and have never had a problem. Great little lights! Happened to notice this today: https://bikecloset.com/product/lumina-1000-boost/?gclid=CjwKCAiA7dKMBhBCEiwAO_crFOGEeZ0nntfm9IBlQ_GL4YxaehKu8JX0kIztJ_0lZtaWyTJZ4ydwgBoC1ggQAvD_BwE

Ummm... this guy? 😆

Well that's pretty cool. Sometimes people are awesome 🙂

I'm not them, but I run Time pedals with 5-10 Kestrels so I'll chime in 🙂 High level review, they're my favorite shoes I've owned so far. These are close to two years old, so 2-4k miles? I don't track stuff as closely as Barry (and I don't ride as much either😉) They did spend about half their life with these little Crank Brothers cleat shims installed. When I first got the shoes, they were pretty tight on my (brand new) pedals, and a little tricky to unclip. Installing the shims got things back to "normal" and also helped prevent wear on the shoe itself. I removed them early this year to tighten clip/unclip action back up as my pedals wore in, and I've been happy with that too. I'd say it's worth buying a pair and seeing if you like them! The only thing I'd gripe about the shoes is the BOA placement. Having them on the side of the shoe makes them fairly susceptible to rock strikes. I've knocked one of each side off, but the replacement program is great (and free!). And on trail it's not that big of an emergency as long as the "lace" stays intact, which it has both times I've killed them. This one happened in the middle of a ~30mile ride out in Colorado. Grabbed a stick and twisted till it was tight. Got me home no problem!

Ok, that was really cool. Can't imagine how long it took to edit all that together!

Did a heatmap-less wander over there this afternoon. Managed to find my way from the toll road to the pool halfway into the neighborhood! Pretty neat 👍 It may be worth cleaning it up a bit before officially including it in the 3B, but it's borderline as is. Less road and more trail is definitely a win!

I agree! Further exploration is in order!
