crankin Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Pace Bend is where I usually ride and i think it got around 4 inches of rain this week, so I’m guessing it’s out. Is Reveille Peak the only trail that’s open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridenfool Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Bluff Creek Ranch might be dry. I was watching the weather radar off and on today and it seemed like they didn't get much, if any rain today. Will call in the morning to verify. Saturday Morning: Their website's latest update indicates dry trails. Edited September 8, 2018 by Ridenfool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started checking the radar this morning to see if driving out there would be worthwhile. Riding in wet conditions out there is fine, but I just didn't want to risk driving out there only to get drenched while out on the trails. Looks like some storm systems are definitely moving through there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrute Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 It doesn't matter the humidity will drench you just in the parking lot getting your bike ready. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Didn't end up riding RPR today, the weather forecast looked too sketchy at 6am. Ended up riding something closer to 360 instead. 🙂 Rocks and (especially) roots were a bit slick, but still a good ride. Was quite humid, and I was certainly drenched head to toe by the timeI got back to the car. Also managed to do this, which explains why I was getting rocks in my shoe during the ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenfool Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I rolled out to Warda (a local trail for me) and had a great time. Dry trail, with a light shower for about 5 minutes to cool me off mid-ride. My shoes came back in better condition than Al's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Let me just call it: the R&I will not happen at WC this week. I will be more diligent about posting an urban alternate if the skies clear for Tuesday afternoon/evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throet Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I haven't been on a bike in almost 2 weeks, and things aren't looking great for this weekend either. Just learned from a post on another thread that RPR is closed to the public this weekend, which I confirmed on their website. Although the rains have subsided some, it seems we're getting just enough every day to keep things really wet. In the 4 years I've been riding trails in Austin, I don't recall ever seeing such a lengthy period of wetness like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I have a couple wheels to build to help stay sane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It was likely a combination of a number of folks' purchases. AB's upgrade, my Juan El Eban conversion, several people with new bikes. It might be cumulative. Which kinda makes me wonder what people were buying in the Carolinas? Edited September 14, 2018 by Ridenfool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went south on Parkfield from there and did a loop through town. Maybe they were mtb'ers riding some urban? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we passed through Walnut on our Veggie Enchilada Buffet ride, and you could see the trails we passed still looked...swampy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 While riding urban on City Park Road, I got passed by someone with a Commencal on their rack, completely covered in mud, and several guys with trials motorcycles also covered in mud. I figured if there's one trail they're doing to do that in, that's the one...but I wondered about how scary it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
